Transmit (FTP client)

Transmit is an FTP client for OS X. Developed by Panic, Transmit is shareware – after a seven-day trial period, the product can only be used for seven-minute sessions until it has been purchased.

Transmit 4 includes a number of features, many of which take advantage of technologies Apple has introduced in OS X 10.4, such as uploading using a Dashboard widget or the dock, support for .Mac and iDisk/ WebDAV, FTP/WebDAV/S3 servers as disks in Finder (since v4.0), Spotlight, Droplets, Amazon S3 support and Automator plugins.

The app was called "Transit" at introduction,1 but had to be changed due to a conflict with an existing product. Transmit was originally developed for Mac OS Classic, but that version has been discontinued and made freeware.
