Hello Jonathan, Lou, Mark, and Others, Jonathan, "Mount as Disk" is a contextual menu option that was added to Transmit 4. I also run Transmit 3.7, and this feature is not present. You'd have to purchase an upgrade ($19 at the Panic web site). From their web page description of version 4 additions: "With the new Transmit Disk feature, you can now mount any of your favorites in the Finder itself, even if Transmit's not running."
Hi Lou, nice to see your recent posts on list. I'd second Mark's recommendation of getting Transmit from Panic software for FTP. You can buy Transmit for $33.99 from the Mac App Store, if your system is Snow Leopard and up to date. Alternatively, you can buy this directly from the developer's web site. You can also get a 30-day free trial download from that site: http://www.panic.com/transmit/ If you're looking for a free FTP solution, the usually preferred option is Cyberduck. This is actually donationware where, if you continue to find the software useful, you donate some amount. The Mac App Store doesn't handle this type of model, so if you get Cyberduck from there, it will cost $23.99. You can download Cyberduck from: http://cyberduck.ch/ A donation made at that site will get you a license key that will stop the "nag" messages when the app is launched, There are many people who like Cyberduck, but I've read some complaints of slow transfers. Fetch still makes an updated software product, but I don't know of many people who use it. Although you can use FTP from the server (via Command-K) from Finder, this can be really slow. I would only use this to transfer local files, and otherwise it hangs a lot. I wouldn't rely on this if you really need your download files. HTH.
