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.

Thanks. I may be an outlier but I won’t download the trial until I know the cost. Appreciate you taking the feedback.

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.

I had the exact same experience with my PyQt-based file manager [1]. Because of this frustration, I open sourced its build system [2]. I believe it could have saved you those weeks of work. Maybe it can still help you if you want to add automatic updates on Mac, or support other OSs (Windows, Linux).

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

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.

FTP? Are you kidding https://library.panic.com/transmit/transmit5/protocols/

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

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

I only see ftp/sftp and some cloud providers ... Am i missing something ? OP is right there is no rsync

Just append aliases to .bash_profile? E.g. alias connect-amazon-example="ssh -i ~/.ssh/amazon-example-key.pem ubuntu@123.123.123.123" Then just 'connect-amazon-example' at the terminal?

Is that best practice?

I've never really understood how you should keep SSH keys. I kept them all in a folder and set zsh to iterate through them all and run ssh-add on startup. Until I realised it can't cope after adding a certain amount, now I'm back to manually doing it.

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.

Pretty handy. Fast. Nice.

Thanks!
