Frequently Asked Questions

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!
