Frequently asked questions about Transmit:
| Where can I download an older version of Transmit? |
 |
If you need to download an older version of Transmit, you can do so from our FTP server. Unless you have a specific need for an older version, please run the latest.
|
|
| Can I view "Their Stuff" only? |
|
Sure! Just drag the little separator handle in the middle of the two stuffs all the way to the left.
|
|
| How do I use .Mac favorites syncing in Tiger? |
|
After launching Transmit 3.2 or higher, open System Preferences > .Mac > Sync. Then, check the
Transmit Favorites checkbox in the Sync panel. See it here. That's it!
|
|
| I no longer use Transmit. How can I remove Transmit from my .Mac Sync preferences? |
|
Awkwardly, Apple doesn't provide a way to remove these items. But, if you're running Transmit 3.5.1 or newer, type this into Terminal:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Transmit/TransmitSync.app/Contents/MacOS/TransmitSync --unregisterClient
That should remove Transmit from the list.

|
| I can't edit favorites using Transmit 2.6.2 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Help! |
|
Indeed, an Apple change in Tiger unexpectedly broke the favorites editing in Transmit 2.6.2.
Transmit 3, the latest version (released before Tiger), features a totally new Favorites system that avoids this issue. We highly recommend (of course) that all Transmit 2 users upgrade to Transmit 3 to get guaranteed support, frequent updates, plus tons of new features.
However, if you wish to continue to use Transmit 2 for now, we have managed a workaround. Download the  Transmit 2.6.2 with Tiger Patch (1 MB). This patched version of Transmit 2.6.2 should only be run on Tiger systems. Please remember, however, that Transmit 2.6.2 remains discontinued / unsupported. Thanks for understanding.

|
| How do I backup or migrate my Transmit 3 favorites? |
|
Transmit 3.5 offers built-in favorites exporting and importing. Just choose "Export" or "Import" from the Favorites menu.
|
|
| How can I use AppleScript with Transmit? |
|
Download these Sample AppleScripts.zip (15k) and see how it works! Users of Mac OS X Tiger may find it easier to use Transmit 3.2's built-in Automator actions.
|
|
| What does Transmit 3 do with ".DS_Store" and "Icon\r" files? |
|
By default, Transmit 3 does not transfer these files, even if 'Show Hidden Files' is turned on. If you want to transfer them:
1. Hold down the Option key, and choose Transmit > Advanced Preferences... from the menu bar
2. Click the Advanced Preferences icon on the right
3. Click the "Plus" button to add a new site setting
4. Type in your server address (i.e. "ftp.site.com"), and check Transfer .DS_Store files
|
|
| What happened to the ability to copy FTP URLs with the login info? |
|
By default, when you select a remote item and choose "Copy", Transmit now copies a URL to the clipboard that does not include your login info. To include login info:
1. Hold down the Option key, and choose Transmit > Advanced Preferences... from the menu bar
2. Click the Advanced Preferences icon on the right
3. Uncheck Do not copy login information with FTP URLs
|
|
| Does Transmit 3 cache remote listings? |
|
Yes. To make changing directories as fast as possible, Transmit will cache directory listings. If you share a server with other users, are logged in, and are expecting a file to arrive, just click Refresh to grab the latest file listing off the server. Also, quitting Transmit will always clear the cache.
