# Welcome to Transmit 4

#### A beautiful, more efficient user interface redesign

We've completely refreshed every part of Transmit's appearance for a modern look. We've removed unnecessary margins and borders. Drawers have been collapsed, and options stay out of the way until you need them. It's the sleekest Transmit ever.

#### Performance, performance, performance

We optimized our file transfer engine. Then we did it again. Then we did it a couple more times. You'll notice right away that Transmit 4 is faster than any previous version.

#### Transmit Disk

Any of your Transmit favorites, whether FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3 or WebDAV, can be mounted to appear as disks in the Finder. Once there, you can interact with them as you would any other disk. Transmit doesn't even need to be running. (Requires installation of MacFUSE extension; included.)

Turn on the optional Transmit menu item for one-click mounting of Transmit Disks.

#### A completely redesigned sync interface

No more guessing games about what's going to happen when you sync a local and remote folder; Transmit lays it out in plain English. For extra confidence, simulate the entire sync without actually touching a single file.

#### Thumbnails, Cover Flow, and improved list view

Two handy new ways to view your files: The Icon View is a standard Finder-like grid of icons. Cover Flow lets you flip through a folder full of images at large sizes. Folders in list view are now expandable in-place.
