Finder integration?
Authored by: aclarke on Jan 03, '06 08:55:14AM
Does Transmit 3 integrate with Finder? I don't understand why we need to use an external program for ftp or sftp at all. Why doesn't the ftp://xxx and sftp:// syntax work in Finder (for both read and write)? Why doesn't Transmit just let you mount an ftp server as a drive in Finder? This would be useful. Anything else just seems like a hack. I can do this in Konqueror and heck even in Microsoft Windows, and this is one area where the Mac really lags IMHO. If Transmit does this now, that's really good news. This seems like a "killer app" for the mac crowd and if I wasn't too busy developing other things I'd give it a whirl myself. Back in my Windows days I purchased and extensively used WebDrive and a program like that would be very useful on the Mac.
