Curious why they would publish tutorial for Transmit 4 and not Transmit 5. It says Transmit 5 tutorial will come later but not when. One would think they would have the tutorial for 5, and then later release one for people still on Transmit 4. Unless Transmit 5 doesn't support it yet?
Also a bit weird you have to use S3 to connect to it even though it isn't S3, unless this new feature is S3 but wrapped in Digital Ocean interface?
- jawngee 9y agoA lot of storage services have S3 compatible APIs. Minio, Google Cloud Storage (when in interop mode) also can be accessed with S3 libraries/SDKs (you have to change the endpoint for it to work). And they aren't 100% compatible. I believe that DO doesn't support headObject, bucketExists and creating presigned upload URLs.
- stephenr 9y agoUnfortunately the s3 API has become a common thing with blob storage services/software. It means they can support any apps/services that currently rely on s3 without little more than a s3 host/URL change.
- beardicus 9y ago(DO employee here) It's S3-compatible. Agreed that it's a bit strange in Transmit and other clients to have to first select "S3" when connecting to something else entirely... but that's the world we live in. Spaces isn't working with Transmit 5 yet. I don't have the technical details, but it's a known issue that's being worked on. I'll write a Transmit 5 tutorial as soon as it works.
