Transferring from one server to another
You can transfer a file from one server to another in one step.
To transfer an item between servers, first open the two servers in side-by-side windows.
Drag the item from Their Stuff in one window to Their Stuff in the other window.
It's also possible to drag a file between servers in two tabs.
Drag the item from Their Stuff in the first tab.
While still dragging the item, position the mouse over the second tab in the tab bar. The second tab will be shown after a short delay.
Finish dragging the item into Their Stuff in the second tab.
Note that files transferred server-to-server using these methods do not travel directly from the source server to the destination server. They are first downloaded to your computer from the source server, then uploaded from your computer to the destination server.
Support for sending a file directly from one server to another, without an intermediary such as Transmit, has been disabled in most FTP server software due to a potential security vulnerability. It would also require the two servers to be running the same protocol, which Transmit currently does not require.
