FTP Rush vs Transmit

FTP Rush is a free client for file transfers and cloud storage services. It supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, Wing FTP Web Client, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Amazon S3. It can move files between servers using different protocols, with the local computer serving as a bridge. Transfer tools include synchronization, scheduling, automation, and C# scripting with documented interface functions for custom tasks. The interface supports multiple connection tabs and drag-and-drop transfers. HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy support, bookmarks, file filters, skip and allow lists, and FTP folder caching are also included. FastUDP is designed for high-bandwidth, high-latency networks; the maker says it accelerated HTTPS transfers by up to 30 times in its transoceanic test cases. FTP Rush is described as freeware that can be unzipped and run without installation. Listed downloads include Windows, portable Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. The standard Windows version requires .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later. The listed v3.6.7 release is dated 29 June 2026.

Transmit is a macOS file-transfer application with multi-protocol support, synchronization, scheduled transfers, and transfer automation. It allows up to 20 concurrent transfers. There is no free plan, but a seven-day trial is listed. The Mac App Store subscription costs $24.99 a year and includes Transmit, Panic Sync, and major updates while subscribed. A separate Direct purchase is listed at $45 a month, with billing described as a one-time purchase with no recurring fees. That option includes a full Transmit 5 download and permits use on all of your Macs when you are the only user. The two plans therefore differ in both included services and billing descriptions: one is an annual subscription, while the other is presented as a one-time payment despite its per-month listed term. Transmit is made by Transmit, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, United States.
