#Similar to winscp for mac trial
I'm now about half-way through my trial period for Coda and I must say I love it so far. But then an IDE for remote web site development, which is exactly what I use it for. Looking at it like that, it seems like Coda tries to mimic an IDE more than anything else. Open a second file and it adds a tab on that panel, where WinSCP would open a second popup window.
And when you open one of those files -instead of getting the WinSCP editor popup- Coda opens the files in a large panel on the right hand side. So it doesn't have a dual pane Norton Commander like interface, but instead just has the list of remote files on the left hand side. After all the tries one more couldn't hurt, so I decided to give it a go.Īfter installing Coda you have to get used to the fact that it is not a WinSCP clone. On the website I ran into their "One-window web development" program, called Coda. So I went to the vendor website to see what it would cost. And although it's no WinSCP replacement, Transmit is a decent SCP program. Until last week? Yes, because about a week ago my trial license of Transmit ran out. I tried all of them.īut none of these tools seem to do what I want, as -until last week- I still found myself at my XP laptop whenever I wanted to work on a site.
In the comments visitors suggested many replacements: Cyberduck, Fugu, Smultron, Filezilla and Transmit. It doesn't need to have all features of WinSCP, but at least being able to browse a remote SSH/SCP file system as if it is local and being able to edit remote files without being bothered too much by the latency and remote-ness are a must-have for me.Īpparently I'm not the only one looking for something to replace good old WinSCP on OSX, as this post is one of the most viewed and most commented on this site. The reason was very simple: the lack of a utility on OSX with a feature set similar to WinSCP on Windows. About half a year ago I wrote a piece on the inability to use my iMac as a web development machine.
