Flow does not support FTP-TLS/SSL and developer responds "no plans to implement it any time in the near future unless demand increases sharply."
The basic idea is good, but it is just so unstable and lacking features (e.g. pause, resume and sort transfers). There are lots of kinks that need to be ironed out.
If in doubt, go with Transmit, it's cheaper too!
Just updated to the latest version and there's a new bug in place of the other bugs that got fixed -- it can't save passwords for bookmarks. It's a nice software but very unstable. I switched back to Transmit.
In the end I'm back to using Transmit. That says everything to me. I wanted to like it, but... I don't like the feel of the app, I don't like the interface and I don't like its instability.

Yeah, when GridIron's Flow was introduced, I sent them an e-mail informing them about the name conflict. The markets don't really overlap all that much, so neither Steve (GridIron) or myself are all that worried.
Best,
Brian (Extendmac).

iusethis is mangling your links because it uses Textile. You may want to read this page so you can produce properly formatted links.
As for my buried comment below:
iusethis has a naughty habit of sometimes squashing url links posted in comments (especially if they're encapsulated in href tags).
But the point I was trying to make, was that there's another app in the horizon, called <b>Flow</b>.
Not that I'd personally care too much about it, seeing that they seem to serve different purposes, but at least I thought I'd post a lil heads-up about it, for anyone who might be concerned.
So here's another try, hoping iusethis will keep this url intact in this comment:

I really like the look of Flow but I just can't use an FTP app that doesn't have the two column view...any plans to add that?
@ark
If by Transmit/TextMate you mean has support for external editors, it most certainly already does have that ;-)
applejustworks:
I don't know if Flow do it already, but if you make for this app the same Transmit/Textmate thing....that'll be awesome.
