For Mac users wanting to map drives from off-campus to
local or cloud based, secure FTP file servers, Transmit software from panic.com
appears to be one of the best products but they apparently do not offer an academic
license. They do offer a curious sliding price scale that drops the price
if we purchase in bulk rather than individually. Their pricing model is
shown below. I expect that the College of Education will be purchasing as
many as 104 licenses, which drops the price per unit from $34 to $22 but if other
units are interested in purchasing Transmit licenses soon then we may be able
to drop the price even further.
