Transmit 3.6 lets you access Amazon S3

Transmit is still my favorite FTP program. Interarchy has been giving it a run for its money though, particularly as it had one advantage, Amazon S3 support. JungleDisk has been doing an admirable job of managing my account, but having the ability to directly manage that file storage is mighty handy.
Transmit 3.6 adds the ability to connect to Amazon S3 for all your file management needs. Unfortunately, in my very preliminary, very unscientific testing, Transmit is unable to handle larger collections of files on those accounts. The directory (if that’s what they’re called on S3) that contains my JungleDisk backup of my photos is causing Transmit to crash and thrash. Meanwhile, my copy of Interarchy is able to easily handle the 11,599 files in there.
Another new feature is the ability to associate a URL with a bookmark so that you can use a new command to copy the URL of those files for testing elsewhere, such as in a browser.

I have to disagree with transmit being the best ftp program. Long ago I would have agreed with you. Once I found Yummy FTP I was in love. If you haven't used it cheked it out. http://www.yummyftp.com/ I use FTP every day and YummyFTP has never let me down. My favorite features are the FTP Aliases and the dual browse mode . I don't know if it works with Amazon S3, I don't even know what that is.
"let's"? Good grief.
