It's a 1.0 release, therefore room for improvement exactly as you've found. I tried changing my ftp setting via Vince to Transmit, but with differing results: ftp directories (ending in "/") will be passed to Transmit to browse, but ftp files (i.e. ends in ".tar.gz", etc.) Safari takes for itself. Hmmm. Just a quick test. (I had a situation once where I wanted all links beginning in "http://"; and ending in ".sit" to be passed on to an FTP program because the browsers at the time didn't reliably resume interrupted downloads. But they're better now and I'm not on a dial up connection, so a failed download is not such a frustration. But it wasn't fixable via Internet Config anyhow.) Chris --
