About Transmit

Transmit is a file transfer app for the Mac from Panic. It connects to FTP and SFTP servers, WebDAV, Amazon S3 and a range of cloud storage services, and lets you browse and move files between local folders and remote storage.

The download is the full application and runs for seven days as a trial; after that a one-time unlock code is needed. The current version, Transmit 5, requires macOS 13 or later. Volume and site licenses are available for teams.

Strengths

  • Supports FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, S3 and cloud services in one app
  • One-time purchase rather than a subscription
  • Full-featured 7-day trial
  • Volume discounts and site licenses

Limitations

  • macOS only, requiring macOS 13 or later
  • Paid after the trial
