I have been using Transmit for a couple of years now. It was reasonably priced and it was clearly a Mac OS X application, built from scratch in the Cocoa environment, with the expected customizable toolbar, etc. I felt increasingly frustrated with the interface.Īt some point, I simply gave up on the application, which no longer felt like a Mac OS X application to me, and I switched to Panic Software’s Transmit. Then over the next few years Interarchy evolved in all kinds of strange directions, including, at some point, the use of “skins” to customize the interface, and also the introduction of features that were far too advanced to be of significant interest to me, on my pokey dial-up connection.ĭuring that period, Apple fine-tuned the Mac OS X interface quite considerably - and unfortunately it looked like Interarchy was doing nothing to follow Apple’s lead in that area. Interarchy felt a bit too much like a Mac OS 9 application with a coat of Mac OS X paint at the time - but at least it was working, and its interface was reasonably familiar and straightforward to me. Some of the other applications I tried simply didn’t work with some of the FTP servers that I had to use, and some of them simply had an interface that was too foreign to a long-time Mac user like me (probably because they came from the NeXT world). I experimented with various freeware and shareware applications that were available at the time, and ended up deciding to purchase Interarchy 4.0. It’s funny how you get used to a particular interface.īack in 2000, when I made the transition to Mac OS X, I had to find an FTP application to replace my trusty old Fetch application, which was Classic-only at the time.
