For a start I don't understand why there a tabs in addition to the sidebar, it seems like duplicate functionality. I don't think the bottom file info panel is really very useful, it introduces too many steps into setting permissions on a file, a floating inspector would be better. As for actual bugs, I'm getting long hangs when connection to the IIS servers I use and Flow also allows me to try and set file permissions on those servers when I don't have the privileges to do this. On, some other servers I repeated get a message saying 'all connection types have been exhausted'. Finally, uploads to Box.net via webdav never seem to finish correctly. It would be nice to see a transcript snippet when errors occur (as in Cyberduck). There’s lots I like about Flow, but also lots I have problems with or don’t understand.

I know you're in high school, but so am I. I'll still buy it to go along with my other FTP apps, but one of the discount sites bight help spread the word even more. Just hoping.

I can see and edit the 20+ files just fine using Transmit, but Flow doesn't show anything! It's always the same folders, but there's nothing special about them (permission stuff, hidden files or something like that). The connection transcript shows the following: LIST -fa 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list 226 Transfer complete. ...while an empty folder (I just created one) results in: LIST -fa 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list drwxr-xr-x 2 web52 web52 104 Apr 7 08:07 . drwxr-xr-x 17 web52 web52 3088 Apr 7 08:07 .. 226 Transfer complete.

I have come across one issue - when upload files I acts as if someone is torrenting, and kanes the latency. While this is good for fast uploads, it is bad for others trying to use the network, as it grinds everything to a halt, bandwidth isn't a problem - it's the latency, so opening say a flickr page takes a few seconds to do a lookup - then loads fine, but those few seconds is frustrating when multiplied by everyone in the office having the same slowdown.
