Have you tried Interarchy? (www.interarchy.com). That was my favourite FTP client for years when I had a Mac. Give it a whirl.

The column view would be nice, but it the user interface would have to be rebuilt. It wouldn´t fit well on your screen unless you have one of those Apple Cinema Displays.

Im using Firefox and there is an extention firFTP, it’s very nice FTP client. The market for making FTP-clients is gone, by now the FTP-client problem should be solved. How many ftp clients are there? 50.000?

With bbedit? does in hav an auto close tag feature like the code editor in dreamweaver?
Brian is right, there is not one that is like dreamweaver’s. But imho BBEdit’s built in feature works a little better. There is a menu item Markup > Close Current Tag. It does not have a default keyboard short cut, but you can assign one BBEdit > Set Menu Keys. (I use command shift period) And I don’t have to worry about getting past the closing tag when I’m done, Just go on to the next thing.
To be more on topic. I’ve been using Transmit for a bit over a year. If I recall the decision came down to the fact that Transmit was low on clutter and high on efficient ease of use.

Transmit is great. the best ftp client for OS X IMHO. Been using it for 2 years now ever since NetFInder died off.
one thing i really miss is a “filter” option, which I believe NetFInder had. Basically there was a text input box in the toolbar where you could use regular expressions to only list files matching your regexp.
VERY useful for those untidy sites/directories you’ve inherited where all file types are mixed together.
for example if i wanted to list only files ending in .php I would type *.php into the filter text box and presto only php files would show up.
i remember sending an email to Panic a while back asking for this type of function to be added to Transmit. Perhaps if others think it would be useful they will consider it?
even without this function i think it’s the most stable and easy to use ftp client.

I agree that Transmit is the only way to fly, err make files fly to and from the internet on a mac. Fast, simple and reliable. excellent application.
