iGet is a modern and Mac-specific file transfer tool. It's designed to replace older file transfer tools, or client-server solutions which require advance set-up. Unlike SFTP or FTP, iGet provides complete support for all the features and goodies that Mac users expect: resource forks, HFS metadata, custom Mac icons, packages, aliases, Unicode file names, remote Spotlight searching, and more. Using an elegantly efficient Mac interface, iGet allows users to quickly locate and move files from Mac to Mac. Its innovative "zero-setup" design allows the user to connect to any machine running Mac OS X 10.3 or higher, without having to install special software (not even iGet) on the remote Mac. All the user needs is a copy of iGet on her own Mac.

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!

Here are some key features of "iGet":
Fully supports Mac file features (resource forks, type/creator, HFS metadata, Finder flags, file packages, etc.)
Remote Spotlight searching!
Automator actions
Resumable file and folder transfers
No server software required--just iGet on your own Mac
60 second learning curve
Strong encryption (SSH)
Bonjour and Keychain support
Optimized for excellent performance over real-world Internet connections, such as DSL, cable, and even dialup.

Limitations:
The number of transfers per launch is limited when iGet is running in demo mode. (It can be purchased and registered without re-downloading.)
