Please note that Transmit Disk is on longer supported as of Transmit 5.6.0. Details

FUSE for macOS lets Transmit 5 mount FTP, SFTP, S3, and WebDAV based servers in the Finder itself, even if Transmit is not running. These volumes are real: drag files to your SFTP server, save a small graphic to your Amazon S3 bucket directly from Photoshop, or roll your own backup volume.

To use FUSE for macOS with Transmit, you’ll need to have installed Transmit 5.0.4 or later.

Next, download and install the helper app from the FUSE for macOS website below.
