company’s innovative file transfer software for the Mac. The update is free
for all users.
“iGet 1.1 delivers some of the features that users have requested the

About iGet
Released in 2004, iGet is a modern replacement for older file transfer
tools like FTP, SFTP, and client-server solutions. It provides a
network-oriented file transfer tool that fully supports Mac-specific file
attributes–including resource forks, HFS metadata, packages, aliases, and
Unicode file names–which standard protocols like FTP cannot handle.
Using a familiar Mac interface, iGet allows users to quickly transfer files
from one Mac to another. With the “zero-setup” feature, the user can
connect to any Mac OS X 10.3 machine without having to install special
software (not even iGet) on the remote Mac.
Other features include resumable file transfers, strong encryption,
Keychain and Rendezvous support, complete drag and drop support, and more.
Pricing and Availability
iGet 1.1 is available today, from the Five Speed Software web site. The
single-copy price is US $24.95.
Educational discounts and site license pricing are also available.
