So, say you're using Transmit on a couple different machines at different locations. You're lazy as well as forgetful and you can't remember a login/password combo to a particular FTP site that - alas - is entered into your Transmit at work (which machine happens to have a static IP).
No problem, you think. You mount your work machine's home directory on your personal mac at home. You navigate to your ~user -> Library -> Preferences directory, copy anything Panic/Transmit related over to your ~user -> Library -> Preferences directory at home, and you fire up Transmit. Sure, all the addresses are there. Also, the usernames. BUT! Panic has (rightly) decided to use Keychain to save all your passwords! What ever shall we do?

- Navigate the open dialog to the ~user -> Libarary -> Keychains directory on your machine that has the right passwords saved
- Select 'Add Keychain'
