Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sync my favorites between Macs using iCloud?

Transmit currently only supports favorite syncing over MobileMe, not iCloud. If you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud, you will lose favorite syncing capability. We are investigating alternatives for the future.

Are there any advanced tips or tricks for Transmit 4?

Yes! Read our blog post, 15 Secrets of Transmit 4. You'll learn at least one new thing!

My Transmit 3 serial number doesn't work for Transmit 4.

Transmit 4 is a major update from Transmit 3. On the plus side, you can use your Transmit 3 serial number to get a great upgrade discount — about 45% off — right here.

Where did the sidebar and/or preview go?

The Sidebar has been replaced with the new Places pop-up. It's the folder with the star — just click it to get a Dock-like menu of favorite folders, which you can add on a per-server basis. The Preview drawer has been replaced with Quick Look (and, if you're on Mac OS X 10.6, will still show you image dimensions.)

Where did the Disconnect button go?

Each file listing has its own disconnect now! Click the button in the top-right corner of the file listing.

How do I preserve modification dates when transferring files?

Choose Transmit → Preferences → Advanced, then click the Advanced Server Settings button. Then, check the Preserve modification dates option next to the server in question.

How do I AppleScript Transmit 4?

It's pretty easy! Note, though, that your Transmit 3 scripts will not work with Transmit 4, as our dictionary has improved significantly. Download our example AppleScripts to get up and scripting!

I'm stuck on Mac OS X 10.4. Can I download or buy Transmit 3?

Yes! Download it in the Panic Museum. It is unsupported. And when you buy a copy of Transmit 4, we'll send along a Transmit 3 serial number, free of charge, in your e-mail receipt. Upgrade when ready!
