Product Description:

iGet is an inventive file transfer tool designed specifically for the Mac. It allows you to log into your account on any remote Mac and browse, find, and get the files you need. As easy to use as the best FTP clients, iGet is much more Mac-oriented: you can stop and resume file and folder transfers, and you see the real Mac icons and Finder labels for all your files as you browse. iGet can even put files into the Trash remotely.


With Spotlight searches that execute on the remote Mac, you can find anything quickly. Always-on strong SSH encryption keeps your data secure, and you never have to think about details like HFS metadata, resource forks, or unusual characters in your file names. With iGet, it just works. It's designed to work well over virtually any kind of network connection, not just a fast LAN. This makes iGet a great tool for accessing your Macs over the Internet. And with it's innovative "zero-setup" design, you don't have to install any special software (not even iGet) on the remote Mac before connecting.


All this power is wrapped up in a smooth interface that is simple to use and supports all the great technologies that Mac users expect, including Automator, AppleScript, Bonjour, Spotlight, and the Keychain.

  • Fully supports Mac file features (resource forks, type/creator, HFS metadata, Finder flags, file packages, etc.)
  • Resumable file and folder transfers
  • Remote Spotlight searching!
  • Displays true Mac icons for remote files
  • No server software required - just iGet on your own Mac
  • 60 second learning curve
  • always on strong SSH encryption (now supports public key auth)
  • Bonjour, Automator, AppleScript and Keychain support
  • Optimized for excellent performance over real-world Internet connections, such as DSL, cable, and even dialup

What's new in this version:

  • Performance of file transfers involving many small files (including file and application packages) has been improved.
  • When running on Mac OS X 10.5 or later, the default location for downloaded items is now the user's Downloads folder. (Any existing setting will not be modified, however.)
  • Several user interface elements, including explanatory and informational sheets for cases like invalid user input, have been greatly improved.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause Automator actions to fail on Mac OS X 10.5.
  • Eliminated spurious "mdworker: unable to parse schema" messages that may have been written to the system log under Mac OS X 10.5.
  • Fixed a serious bug that in rare circumstances could cause a connection to fail, or cause a crash.
  • Several other minor improvements.

iGet ReviewIndispensable - Version: 2.6.2, 10/29/2007 04:07AM PST

Timothy Bates (Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science)
This app allows you with trivial ease to connect to all your machines, securely.

It enhances my productivity almost daily: especially when traveling - don't worry about taking a copy of your multi-gigabyte hard drive, just iGet into your home machine from anywhere in the world, use remote spotlight to find the files you want, and bingo: you have what you want!

robust, dependable, intuitive - just about invisible.

iGet is an amazing application. Something Apple should have built into OSX. I downloaded the application and was able to connect to another Mac on my LAN in less than 5 minutes. The price does seem high; however.
