Extract text from Transmit server lists (TRANSMITSERVERS)
To convert TRANSMITSERVERS server lists to another format, you need Transmit or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "FTP Client Configuration" file type, you need software like Transmit or a similar tool.
A .transmitservers file stores connection bookmarks, FTP/SFTP credentials, and server directory paths exported from Transmit, a popular macOS file transfer client developed by Panic. It is primarily used by web developers and system administrators to back up favorite servers or share connection configurations with team members.
The main drawback of the .transmitservers format is its strict vendor lock-in. It is a proprietary export format that becomes useless if you switch to Windows or Linux, or if you decide to migrate to alternative FTP clients like FileZilla or Cyberduck. Without Transmit installed on a macOS machine, the file cannot be natively imported or read. Furthermore, standard text editors might only show raw XML or encrypted data blocks, making manual data extraction highly frustrating.
To migrate your data, you typically need to convert .transmitservers to CSV or XML formats supported by other FTP software, or to JSON for custom script-based server management. Keep in mind that saved passwords may not convert if they were encrypted using the macOS Keychain during export.
This file format is difficult to open or convert elsewhere. Because it is a closed, proprietary package, often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Standard online converters fail to process it because they lack the necessary parsers. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format like an Apple Property List, viewing or data extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TRANSMITSERVERS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert TRANSMITSERVERS file to SYS, DLL, EXE, DRV, VXD, 386, COM, BAT, CMD, SCR, PIF or LNK, you can use Transmit or similar software from the "FTP Server Bookmark Backup" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MSI, EXE, REG, MST, LNK, CAB, CAT, DRV, INF, SYS, MSU or DLL files to TRANSMITSERVERS, try Transmit or another comparable tool in the "FTP Server Bookmark Backup" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TRANSMITSERVERS converter.
