I would also like to close this off by saying a public thank you to Cabel and the guys at Panic who have patiently explained all of steps in the S/FTP process, the meaning of all the port calls and the limitations in the process which they have to deal with. Paul’s point about the impact of a corrupt cache file if the application crashes is helpful as I bet many, many folk were unaware of how Transmit handles folder and file lists. Having spent a day trialling alternatives it’s clear that Panic’s GUI is streets away from many of the others (where have some of these guys been for the last x-years?) and even though, as Mark pointed out in a MAMP thread elsewhere, Transmit’s terminology can be little challenging at times it’s as nothing compared to trying to figure out how to use Forklift…. Thanks everyone for their input to this thread and for the silent consensus that there is no realistic alternative to Transmit. So if I need to edit a file and it needs esoteric permissions (666 for example) then I need to remember that every time I edit it. No longer all file uploads are reset to 644 and all folders to 775 I tried this on a totally new Tiger build with v363 on both my dedicated, reseller and Enginehosting accounts. In the good old days if the permissions had been set on the server they were preserved if a file was downloaded, edited and uploaded again. Also, quitting Transmit will always clear the cache.Īnd forget the “.with other users.” stuff if you load (zip?) files or manage permissions through cPanel’s File Manager or Enginehosting’s online ftp utility, same applies you must discretely refresh the folder (as the tech note implies merely entering and exiting a folder does not force a refresh). 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. ![]() To make changing directories as fast as possible, Transmit will cache directory listings. Transmit caches the whole folder structure so get to love that refresh button.□ As Neville would probably say it must be a really weird question, if cPanel is the answer… -)īut on other hand applications like Yummy and Forklift have such primitive GUI interfaces one wonders where their developers have been for the last x-years.Īs a footnore I should add that I too am using Transmit v3.5.6 it’s just that, for us, v3.6.x has this permissions/caching issue that has caused us no end of headaches - or is Tiger.11 all along? It’s got to the point that we have to use the cPanel File Manager to confirm the existence of files and folders, and their permissions. So all of our changes were being cached there. ![]() Eventually we discovered that even thought we were looking at and clicking on the file in the server pane, Transmit was delivering a copy from it’s local cache file - even after a system restart. ![]() ![]() When we compared versions we found that we were looking at different files. I find myself wondering whether these Mac clients are accessing a functionality within the MacOS and to what extent issues encountered, like yours with CD, result from changes there (Tiger.11 has many interesting “features”).Īn errant problem with another account was diagnosed by server-admin as an. I just went back to Panic/Transmit as Cyberduck was giving me so many connection/permission problems.
