Getting Ahold of Myself

Ok, now that Adriaan helped me figure out the backslash issue (althought as Dirk points out, even that is not as perfect.), I was able to get a little more work done.. this time on the Mac. the going is slow, but it may be possible.

I've been making notes of all the things I want to do, and all the features I want on my software (that I used to have on the Windows) and I'm going to start going through it in a calm, controled manner.

Maybe the functions that I can't find in existing apps will lead me to be a builder of Mac apps.

A sneak preview of the list, things that I am sure exist, but I can't seem to find.

1. An ftp client that:

• Supports active AND passive transfers. (I can't find a switch on Transmit or NetFinder)


• Has two windows, navigational directory trees for both local and remote computers (Fetch has active transfer, but only shows the remote computer)


• Remembers shortcuts of recently visited directories, so I can navigate without going up and down through the directories. (Transmit, NetFinder, Fetch all only allow me to skip backward.. for example, I can go from /var/site/html/about/products/ to /var/site/html/ but *not* from /var/site/html/about/products/ to /var/site/cgi-bin/somescript/lib/


• Has a left arrow button to tranfer from remote to local and a right arrow button to transfer from local to remote, or some variation thereof. (I can't find any transfer button in Transmit so I have been resorting to dragging and dropping them from one computer to the other!)
