About iGet

iGet is an inventive file transfer tool designed specifically for the Mac. It allows users to log into their accounts on remote Macs and browse, search, and download the files they need. As easy to use as the best FTP clients, iGet is much more Mac-oriented: it can stop and resume file and folder transfers, displays the real Mac icons and Finder labels for remote files, understands Mac aliases and can perform Mac-specific tasks like putting files into the Trash remotely.

With Spotlight searches that execute on the remote Mac, searching for files is extremely fast. iGet features always-on strong encryption, and does not require users to worry about details like HFS metadata, resource forks, or unusual characters in file names. With iGet, it just works. In addition, iGet was designed to work well over virtually any kind of network connection, not just a fast LAN, so it's a great tool for accessing remote Macs over the Internet. An innovative "zero-setup" design allows the user to connect without having to install any special software (not even iGet) on the remote Mac.

All this power is wrapped up in a smooth interface that is simple to use and supports major Mac technologies like Automator, AppleScript, Bonjour, Spotlight, and the Keychain.

iGet began shipping as a Universal Binary even before Intel-based Macs became available, so it has offered native performance on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs from day one.

iGet requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. It can connect to Macs running Mac OS X 10.3 or later.

About iGet Mobile

In 2007, the company added another application to the iGet product line: iGet Mobile. While the original iGet allows remote access to one's Mac from another Mac, iGet Mobile makes a Mac accessible from non-Mac devices such as the iPhone, PC, or other non-Mac device. Information about iGet Mobile is available from the company's web site, at:
