• Nice FTP client, but I've a couple of questions...

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />...such as: which Text editors will Vicomsoft FTP Client support besides BBEdit? Should I read anything into the lack of updates of late? Or are there simply no real bugs to squash (rare, but possible I suppose)? FTP Client _is_ still being actively developed and supported - right? Anyway, after trying FTP Client out I like it a lot. It's fast, stable and does exactly what I want with a minimum of fuss. If I can get answers to the above I'll be definitely considering it in my next round of shareware purchases. Actually, that raises one negative point - FTP Client isn't really shareware, more demo crippleware (not that the developer tries to pass it off any different, mind you):-( I'd be more inclined to pay for FTP Client instead of, say, the new Transmit (which is also very nice) if I had had more than seven days unlimited testing. The sweet spot IMHO is more like 30 days - 14 at the minimum. Seven is _way_ to short - so brief it annoys me, and puts me off the product. Frankly I'm highly inclined to buy proper shareware rather than severely time limited demo software. Just my opinion, though.

• Terrific product, but...

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is without question one of the best OS X products around. The functionality is comprehensive, the performance extremely solid. My only wish is to return to the window format of the OS 9 version, where the control icons were not fancy (a simple arrow), simply informative and well-placed. The column view is not useful, and the radiator icon for switching in the upper left corner of the window is confusing, distracting and poorly placed.

• Best OS X FTP client (imho)

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This app saved me many hours and (almost) never let me down. It's the fastest FTP client for OS X I've seen, and I've tried many of them. Especially when it comes to folders with 20'000 files (typo3 sucks :), this tool shows its advantages. Its fast, doesn't require much cpu power, handles threats fine and the interface is great. Also, the developers are really nice guys. Thanks, Vicomsoft! btw: I only registered at VT to tell you how great this one is. :)

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Well, it stated 7 day trial period, which would have been <b>perfect</b>, BUT... after giving my email address to get the application, and then installing it, I got exactly 33 minutes of trial time before it quit on me and notified me that my 7 day trial period was over. So basically I signed up to be solicited by these monkeys for a quick spin-around and dump!<br><br> <B>Really like Vicom FTP client for these reasons:</B><BR> <b>1:</b> Sort by date - nice<BR> <b>2:</b> Queued transfers - nice<BR> <b>3:</b> INDIVIDUAL PREFS per bookmark - nice!<BR> <b>4:</b> Openable folder structure in the FTP window - nice.<BR> <b>5:</b> GUI and interface - nice (though the app. icon is HORRID)<BR> <br> <B>No like it because:</B><BR> <b>1:</b> It's considerably slower than Transmit<BR> <b>2:</b> Can't set the PASSIVE or NON PASSIVE mode preference PER individual bookmark. I have not seen an FTP application to date that allows that. Makes it a REAL pain when trying to log into 2 FTP servers at one time.<BR> <b>3:</b> Wish you can do FTP to FTP direct transfers like you can in Fetch. <br><br> I'll wait for these items to appear in Vicom FTP before I buy it, already spent enough money on FTP apps only to be disappointed too many times. Plus I think &#36;35 is a lot for the FEW added features that you get outside of the already existing design/ftp applications. For MOST people, they don't NEED these features. Who knows, maybe I haven't work-shopped the entire thing yet...
