iGet is a next-generation file transfer tool for Mac OS X. It's what SFTP would be, if it had been designed exclusively for Mac OS X and the Mac platform's extremely high software expectations, without any cross-platform compromises. iGet lets you move files between Macs without resorting to archaic or only partially compatible protocols (like FTP or SFTP). And unlike AppleShare, iGet is network-oriented and designed to be fast over real-world Internet connections, and not just 100Mbps or 1Gbps LANs.
Engineered specifically for the Mac, iGet can do things no other file transfer tool can. Its custom-designed network protocol efficiently supports remote Spotlight searching and true Mac icons. It understands packages, Finder labels, HFS metadata and resource forks, etc. Connections are always strongly encrypted. And yet, the interface is so intuitive that there is virtually no learning curve at all for most Mac users. Best of all, because iGet's innovative design requires no additional software be pre-installed on the remote machine, all you need is iGet on your own Mac!
