Please note that Transmit Disk is on longer supported as of Transmit 5.6.0. Details

Transmit Disk makes your favorite Transmit servers appear as disks in the Finder. This enables you to manipulate files on your favorite servers using ordinary Finder windows.

Note: Transmit Disk doesn’t work with all protocols. Currently, it’s only possible to use Transmit Disk with FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, and Some Amazon S3 regions. More info over here.

Preparing to use Transmit Disk

Transmit must be installed, but does not have to be running to use Transmit Disk.

Transmit Disk requires installation of a system extension called MacFUSE. MacFUSE is not included with Transmit, but Transmit will ask if you want to install MacFUSE when using Transmit Disk for the first time.

Once installed, MacFUSE appears in your System Preferences application and can be updated or removed from there.

The process of making a saved Transmit server appear as a disk is referred to as “mounting”.

To mount a Transmit Disk:

1. Open your list of saved servers
2. Click once on the server you’d like to mount
3. In the menubar, Choose Servers > Mount As Disk

To unmount a Transmit Disk:

1. Open a Finder window
2. Click the mounted disk in Finder’s sidebar
