Greater Control Over File Transfers

Fetch Softworks has announced the latest release of Fetch, the original Mac file transfer app. With new features designed to provide greater control over the user's file transfer tasks, this release continues the Fetch tradition of steady, relentless improvement.

Fetch now offers users better control over files. A simple but very useful way Fetch does this is by preserving the modification dates of uploaded files, making it easier to tell when a file on a server matches the local copy. Further, Fetch's new Find field enables users to zero in on just the files they are working with.

Fetch also helps users better monitor the progress of file transfers. While previous versions reported the transfer progress of each individual file, Fetch now displays the progress of the overall transfer, making it easier to see when the entire operation will be complete.


Finally, Fetch now makes it easier to use Fetch on multiple computers without having to manually update shortcuts on each one. Fetch introduces support for syncing Fetch shortcuts using Dropbox, enabling individuals and groups to access an up-to-date collection of shortcuts no matter which Mac they use.

Pricing and Availability:
Fetch is free to try for 15 days, and a single-user license is $29 (USD) and can be downloaded from the company's website or from the Mac App Store. Upgrades are free for Fetch 5.5 and Fetch 5.6 users and customers who purchased Fetch after January 28, 2009; otherwise, upgrades are $10. Free licenses and upgrades are available for educational and charitable use.
