Release Notes

MomentFTP 1.0

Mac App Store launch

New: server groups

  • Click + next to Servers › New Group… (⇧⌘G) to add a group folder to the sidebar, and organize dozens of servers by project or environment
  • Select several servers with ⌘ or ⇧ and drag them into a group or back to Ungrouped — or right-click › Move to Group
  • Rename, reorder and fold groups; empty groups invite you to drop servers in; search expands matching groups
  • Deleting a group moves its servers to Ungrouped, keeping their settings and Keychain passwords
  • The Group field when adding or editing a server is now a menu, with New Group… built in
  • Groups saved by name in older versions are converted to group folders automatically, after a backup to servers.v1-backup.json

Custom pane layouts

  • ⌘T adds a pane (up to four), ⌘W closes one; drag a pane by its header to dock it above, below, left or right of another pane, or swap the two
  • Equalize (⌃⌘=) evens out the sizes without changing the layout; double-click a divider to reset it
  • Layout, proportions, servers and paths are remembered and restored on next launch

New

  • A Help menu with Support & FAQ, the privacy policy and release notes, opened from pages bundled with the app
  • A new "liquid wave" app icon

Fixes

  • Servers in the sidebar can be dragged onto a pane to connect (previously they couldn't be dragged)
  • After switching panes with ⌘1–4, keyboard focus now follows, so shortcuts like delete and rename only affect the active pane
  • Menu shortcuts occasionally stopped working
  • The app could occasionally launch without a window; clicking the Dock icon now always reopens it

Known limitations

  • Partial transfers can't be resumed yet; retries start from the beginning
  • ssh-agent, PuTTY .ppk keys and jump hosts aren't supported yet
  • S3, WebDAV and SMB aren't supported
  • The interface is currently in Chinese only
