Import Transmit bookmarks

[rastarr]

Hi There,

Let first say that Yummy FTP is a breath of fresh air when it comes to FTP under Mac - I switched from Windows about 6 months ago and have been searching for an FTP client that I really connected with (pardon the pun).

Transmit was by far and away the closest I found and it was still miles away. Yesterday I stumbled across Yummy FTP and immediately fell in love with it. One problem is importing Transmit's bookmarks/favourites though. I'm not entirely sure how I do this. Not sure where they're stored to point the bookmark importer to.

Can anyone help me here please?

Also, does YummyFTP allow tabbed multi-site sessions or does each new connection have to open in it's own new window?

Thanks

Unfortunately, only Transmit v2 Favorites can be imported. From v3 and on, the makers (Panic) decided to encrypt them so they can no longer be imported. Even though there is an 'Export' feature, it appears to only work with another copy of Transmit.

Maybe you would like to ask Panic to help convert your Favorites into text format, for example. It's not the first time I've been asked about importing Transmit 3 Favorites (not by a long shot!), but I don't think it would be right for me to ask myself 

Currently, Yummy uses a multi-window approach, but I have tabbed browsing high on my To Do list for the next major version.

Speaking of tabs... are you planning on:

2 tabs to 2 different ftp servers. Want to move a file(s) from one server to the other. Click-hold and drag items from server one to the tab of server 2 and have the transfer made.

Of course, the trick is getting a direct transfer going... rather than bring down a set of files, then uploading them elsewhere.

So this is slated for version 2?

Direct server to server transfer (known as FXP) is generally prohibited on the majority of servers these days due to security concerns, so I'm not too sure of the value of FXP anymore. But it is on my To Do list, all the same.
