ZDNET Recommends $45 Transmit App for Mac, Citing Up to 16x Faster File Transfers

ZDNET says Panic’s Transmit is worth its $45 one-time price for Mac users who regularly move files to remote servers, highlighting notably faster transfers and a polished interface.
Up to 16x faster uploads to services such as Amazon S3 drove the recommendation, and the reviewer said a full sync of more than 4,000 files beat results from apps like FileZilla.
Transmit supports FTP, SFTP and WebDAV plus cloud platforms including Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Backblaze B2 and Azure, with SSH key authentication, tabbed sessions and drag-and-drop transfers.
Its sync feature can keep local and remote folders aligned as a backup workflow, while saved favorites speed repeat access to frequently used servers.
The app is available from the Mac App Store or Panic’s website with a 7-day trial, though Google Drive support is being phased out for new connections.
