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:

  • Fixed a bug which could cause iGet to fail to navigate to the correct folder on the remote Mac when opening an iGet Favorite from the New Connection window, rather than using the Favorites window or menu.
  • This version corrects a problem which could cause iGet to crash while negotiating a connection using key-based authentication, if its windows were reordered during the connection process. This was especially likely to happen with Little Snitch installed (although the fault was entirely iGet's).
  • The New Connection window can now be closed via the window's normal close button, or ⌘W. Any connection that is in progress when the window is closed will be cancelled. The Cancel button continues to work as before.
  • Corrected some issues with keyboard navigation of the UI. Notably, this fixes bugs that prevented using the Shift and/or Option keys in conjunction with the arrow keys to navigate or modify the selection in the files list.
  • Updated various identifiers used by iGet, in order to address issues whereby iGet could become dissociated from its document files (e.g., iGet shortcut files).

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

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

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.
