This script has been rewritten in JavaScript and has moved to https://github.com/nlemoine/transmit-2-ssh-config

This little tool is born because I was bored to keep both my SSH config file and Transmit favorites in sync, filling twice the same informations over and over.

This script converts all your Transmit SFTP favorites into an SSH config file.

Download the script, give it execution rights and execute.

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nlemoine/transmit-favorites-2-ssh-config/master/transmit-to-sshconfig.py
chmod +x transmit-to-sshconfig.py
./transmit-to-sshconfig.py

If you don't have an ssh config file, it will be created for you.

If you already have one, hosts from Transmit favorites will be appended to your existing file.

If host already exists, it will be skipped.

Only SFTP favorites are added to the SSH config file.

HostNames are slugified and formatted to play nice with the excellent Shuttle app.

In Transmit, let's say you have:

• Company folder
  • Server 1
  • Server 2
• Personal folder
  • Server 1
  • Server 2

These favorites will be converted to these HostNames:

• company-folder/server-1
• company-folder/server-2
• personal-folder/server-1
• personal-folder/server-2

And will appear as shown above in Shuttle:

This is my first python script, feel free to fork it and make it better.
