iGet is a file transfer tool for Mac that provides remote access to another Mac. It offers the possibility to easily connect and transfer files between multiple computers.
iGet is a modern file transfer tool that is specifically designed for Mac users. This tool aims to replace older file transfer tools as well as client-server solutions, which require advanced setup. With iGet, you can log in to any remote Mac account to browse, search, and get the files you need. This tool is as easy to use as the best FTP clients, but it is much more Mac-oriented as it allows you to stop and resume file and folder transfers.
As you browse, you see the real Mac icons and Finder labels for all your files, and iGet can even put remote files into the Trash instead of irrevocably deleting them. With Spotlight searches that perform on the remote Mac, you can quickly find anything. Your data is secured with always-on strong SSH encryption, and you never have to worry about HFS metadata, resource forks or unusual characters in your file names. With iGet, everything just works.
iGet is capable of performing well over virtually any kind of network connection, not requiring a fast LAN for you to access your Macs through DSL, cable, or even cell phone modem. The interface is smooth, simple to use, and supports all the great technologies that Mac users expect, including Automator, AppleScript, Bonjour, Spotlight, and Keychain. The best part is that you don't need to install additional application on the remote machine. You only require iGet on your computer.
The key features of iGet include fully supporting Mac file features (resource forks, type/creator, HFS metadata, Finder flags, file packages, etc.), remote Spotlight searching, Automator actions, resumable file and folder transfers. The tool requires no server software and has a 60-second learning curve. It features strong encryption (SSH), Bonjour, and Keychain support. It is also optimized for excellent performance over real-world Internet connections like DSL, cable, and even dial-up.
The only requirement for using iGet is that the remote Mac should have the "Remote Login" service enabled to allow incoming network connections. To enable this, check the "Remote Login" checkbox in the Sharing pane in the System Preferences application. There is a limitation where the number of transfers per launch is limited when iGet is running in demo mode.
