# Panic's own migration article, "Moving Transmit to a new Mac and importing

# your data" (https://library.panic.com/transmit/new-mac/), names both halves

# under "Don't have the old Mac?":

# Sites/Favorites: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Transmit

# Passwords: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Keychains/

# The Homebrew cask's `zap trash:` names the same support directory and

# ~/Library/Preferences/com.panic.Transmit.plist, which is the settings window

# itself.

# The cask's caches (~/Library/Caches/Transmit, ~/Library/Caches/

# com.panic.Transmit, ~/Library/HTTPStorages/…, ~/Library/WebKit/…) and the

# crash-reporter queue are all outside the paths above, so there is nothing to

# carve out of what is listed.

# No whole-file credential, on Panic's own authority: the article above splits

# the two, putting favorites in Application Support and passwords in

# ~/Library/Keychains. What is carried is the server list — protocol, host,

# port, user name, remote and local paths, per-favorite rules — which is the

# reason to move it to a new Mac at all. The user names in it identify accounts

# without authenticating them, the way an ~/.ssh/config entry does.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: the favorites store and the preferences domain are binary

# formats, which neither prefix nor key_path matching can read. A favorite's

# local path is the machine-local part of it; a consumer that can read those

# formats should drop it itself.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/transmit. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page.
