Obviously several. It’s quicker to learn. It’s easier to use. A non technical person can use it. Etc etc.

It’s 12 USD. I will add this more plainly to the website.

Wow! I did not realise you had made a build system as a standalone project. This is excellent.

Incidentally, as a throwaway comment, FTP is from the 70's and rsync is from the 90's. I think about that sometimes.

And sorry yes, the whole thing is implemented in Python.

I find Python to be one of the least worst languages. It took some difficult weeks to figure out how to build and package, although, to that end, PyQtDeploy came along at just the right time. It's already in the Mac App Store.

Don't get me wrong; I like Transmit, I've used it a lot. But it doesn't do rsync over SSH.

Slow and steady with the addition of features over the last few months (http://bonhardcomputing.com/category/news/) and how does it compare to Transmit!? Transmit is an FTP app; Truck uses rsync-over-SSH.
Just append aliases to .bash_profile? E.g. alias connect-amazon-example="ssh -i ~/.ssh/amazon-example-key.pem [email protected]" Then just 'connect-amazon-example' at the terminal?

15 years is a long time. You're giving up a large amount of freedom right there. The DoE will still be there in 12 months if SV doesn't work out. I'd do it that way round.
