WEB

During my foray into the world of web design, I came across a Paid FTP application for Macs that really rocks.  I had been using a free app called CuteFTP Mac, that I was turned on to by RC Concepcion ,over at KelbyTraining.  CuteFTP was free and well cute…and has done me well for the past year, but when I got into some very heavy uploading/downloading it really bogged down. So I researched some other FTP apps and nothing seemed to compare to the feature rich, well designed Transmit 4.  Besides winning all the coveted MAC awards this application just gets more of my attention with each use as I explore it in ‘go-to’ situations.

An example is this screen shot, here I’m trying to ID which HDD partition that I have a file on to upload….the GUI  for navigation is great, the file path are right out there to see and track:

The next feature is a sync program that you can use to create a FTP backup, rather than downloading your entire sire from your server”

and I’m sure that sooner or later I’ll be taking advantage of mounting FTP disks or even a Amazon S3 CDN, as advertised:

and the feature that gives this a ‘go-get‘ rating is SPEED. Transmit 4 delivers some impressive results

1. 4x – List files
2. 18x- Download files
3. 2x – Delete Files
4. 25x – Upload files

Be prepared to payout some cash $34 for this little app, or keep a look out for discounts…

Besides the Front end of the site , which you see, ie IMAGES, media content,and info content, there is a lot going on in the background.  For this Blog is not created, engineered, or administered by another 3rd party.

When I get a moment, all of the content has been researched, retooled, and validated for final viewer use.  One such tool that is visible to you is live BLOG links to other Websites that have relevant value to your visiting this site.

For those of you Techies or if you have a web site and you like to know how its done, I have put the content of my Y-Tube program flow for you to gander at.  It took quite a bit of time to figure out the initial concept of the tool, but the GUI interface and drag and drop templates is very user friendly.

There is an added benefit, in that there is a library of thousand of these pipes, from the very simple to very very complex, that you can access.

In any event, it is a cool tool and technology to suck out content from any where on the WWW and parse and filter it out to get just the content that you require………the journey continues and I’m loving it….
