I'm seeing everyone talking about Transmit. Could someone tell me in what ways is it better than Cyberduck?
I've been trialling Transmit lately after using Cyberduck and I find Transmit better for actual file transfers as it includes a local file browser, even though Cyberduck doesn't as it isn't the Mac way of doing things I still find it easier in Transmit.
However I don't really transfer that much and only usually use SFTP for remote editing, Transmit is better for that as it doesn't have problems refreshing to show new files and it doesn't throw an error every time you try to reconnect after your Mac has been sleeping.
Also I prefer the directory navigation in Transmit, the tree view stuff in Cyberduck gets to be a pain when working on a large site and is a little finicky.
