Transmit5 iCloud Settings Sync ☁️

Keep your settings and server configurations backed up and synced between your Macs on Trial version, without an active license

• Works with the free trial version of Transmit 5 (the copies without a license)
• Stores all your Server configurations to iCloud Drive
• Uses only native macOS features (SymLinks / iCloud)
• Implements with a single terminal command

Setting up iCloud Sync for free Transmit5 trial version

1. Move the settings folder to iCloud Drive
2. Create a symlink from iCloud settings folder to the original location

Terminal way:

# kill Transmit app
killall Transmit

# create the iCloud symlink at your home directory
cd ~ && ln -s "$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs" iCloud

# create iCloud Transmit settings folder
mkdir -p "$HOME/iCloud/dotenv"

# set the Transmit settings folder paths
TR_ICLOUD_SETTINGS_FOLDER="$HOME/iCloud/dotenv/Transmit"
TP_SETTINGS_FOLDER="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Transmit"

# backup Transmit 5 settings folder and move to iCloud
mv "$TP_SETTINGS_FOLDER" "$TR_ICLOUD_SETTINGS_FOLDER"

# create symlink from iCloud Transmit folder to the original location
ln -s "$TR_ICLOUD_SETTINGS_FOLDER" "$TP_SETTINGS_FOLDER"

Transmit5 Trial Reset (Apple Shortcut) ▶️

New Apple Shortcuts app seems to be a really cosy place to store and organise tweaks & code snippets like this keeping them easy to share with friends 😃

See the shortcut example 👉🏻 Transmit 5 Cleaner Shortcut.shortcut

Automating the Apple shortcut execution example:

1. Go to shortcuts app and press add shortcut to dock, this will create the Application from a shortcut
2. Find the new generated app at ~/Applications/Transmit 5 TrialReset
3. Drag your app to user's login items
