Product Description:

If you can use the Finder you can use NetFinder.

NetFinder is an easy-to-use file management and automation tool for remote servers and local files. It supports easy renaming, copying, moving, deleting, duplicating, creating new files and folders, labeling, commenting, undoing actions and much much more. So simple in fact, that if you know how to do it in the Finder, you will have no problems using NetFinder.

The types of servers/protocols NetFinder supports for remote file management include: ftp, ftps, ftpsi, sftp, webdav, http and file (local file management). This means you can also connect to your Apple iDisk account too.

NetFinder 3 adds some nice touches including, the ability to label (like the Finder) any file or folder on remote servers! You can even add comments too. Additionally, NetFinder also integrates powerful yet simple to create Automation Components (using Apple Automator.app), allowing users to perform complex tasks on remote selected items in a single mouse click.

Of course file management wouldn't be complete without mirroring/syncing support of remote and local files/folders. However, NetFinder is the first to bring you a nice dynamically filterable self contained report which you can filter items in the report with a single click, while being able to send these reports to anyone else to view and print out. In case you are asking, yes, NetFinder work perfectly well with iWeb too, for all your web publishing needs if you don't have a .mac account.

NetFinder also support various Firewalls / Proxies (including SOCKS and OTP), secure storage of passwords using Apple's Keychain Manager, ICI/Ruby Script, previewing of Movies, MP3's and even Shockwave files, integration with BBEdit and other external editors.

I have used a lot of file management systems over the years but still find NetFinder the most stable, powerful and fastest app out there. It's obvious time has been spent on this version to make sure that the build continues to out performs it's competitors.

It supports all of the servers/protocols I need and then some. The filterable self contained reports are extremely useful & easy to use. There are also a lot of other extremely handy features for NetFinder users such as labeling, comments, the ability to preview Movies, MP3 & Shockwave files as well as the integration with Apple Automator, Keychain & BBEdit.

It may have been a while between builds, but it was well worth the wait.

Don't waste you time looking at the other apps like I did.
NetFinder is by far the best file management system out there and well worth the price.

This has everything I need: resumable downloads, drag and drop, and
it doesn't freak out with iphoto collections or bug me with inane questions,
gpl propaganda or bouncing icons. It's very slick and has displaced cyberduck
as my ftp client of choice.

I started using NetFinder again when version 3.0 came out. This is a really nice re-write. Easier support for adding shortcuts, single window browsing, more protocols and support for labels on remote files and folders (plus more). Automator support is going to be very handy.

Really stable and fast so far - good work.

I used NetFinder all the time back in the day and it is great to see its return.
NetFinder is back!
