Transmit caches can recover seemingly lost data

I agree! I always work off a full site backup, and even if I'm fixing a typo, I down load the file first.

I only use Transmit for transferring files.

Transmit caches can recover seemingly lost data

I don't work directly on original files on a server, so this is never a problem for me. I think it's a good work habit to back up the originals, work on copies, and upload any changed files after I've worked on them. It's a habit that's served me well.

If I'm "only going to make a quick change", then at the very least I make a copy of that file on the server, so I can replace my changed file immediately. I leave that file, too, in case a problem only shows up later. Since I give files long, descriptive names, this habit serves me well, also.
