Mount as Drive Issue: Amazon S3 + Transmit 4

[Natobasso]

Hi, having a strange issue because this used to work at one point.

I'm doing the following:

1. Connect to my Amazon S3 account with Transmit, using Mount as Disk option
2. The account is set up and I can access it normally via FTP and I have one bucket there

What's happening is:

1. I get this error: Internal error (rc=1) while attempting to mount the file system. For now, the best way to diagnose is to look for error messages using Console.

Not being very good at the console, I'd love some help with this. Here's the console error. Only the bottom message applies as that's when I actually tried this scenario, but included previous messages just in case:

Any ideas on how to get this to work, or a better app than Transmit for this?

Well OS X only READS FTP, not write. Hence all the third party applications. This slickest ftp software I have seen (that also does Amazon S3) is ExpanDrive. You might would want to look at that to see if it is what you want.

...

The wonderful Interarchy mounts FTP volumes with read/write access on the Desktop. It was recently upgraded to Interarchy 10.

Two great options, I'm downloading and testing them both.

Panic, any comment?

@Natobasso

Any chance you could post ur thoughts re: tools? I am about to embark on a test of the both myself.

Interarchy! Still around, wow!

I've tried:

1. Transmit
2. ExpandDrive
3. SME

I like transmit the best because of it's Mount as Disk option is so much better than SME (SME's drive icon is naff and the connection is clunky).

Use the latest version of Transmit or the Mount as Disk won't work. They had a release that broke the feature but have since fixed it.

ExpandDrive has the best upload progress of any of them, you can see by directory or even by each file.

Transmit is the winner!
