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:

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.  Cheers,

Esther
