Fetch5.8.3

Fetch transfers files between a Mac and remote servers, giving users a dedicated way to move website, publishing, and other working files. It connects over FTP, SFTP, and FTP secured with TLS/SSL (FTPS), allowing access to thousands of internet service providers, web hosts, publishers, pre-press companies, and other services.

Drag-and-drop moves files and folders between your Mac and a server or directly between two servers. Droplet shortcuts turn recurring uploads into quick drop actions, while the Mirror command synchronizes folders. Quick Look previews files on a server, and Fetch can edit any kind of file before automatically saving the changes back remotely.

A Find field filters long file lists, multi-file transfers show overall progress and remaining time, and uploaded files can retain their modification dates. Shortcuts can be synchronized between Macs through Dropbox or a shared file server. Fetch is compatible with virtually all FTP servers, including VMS, VM/CMS, OS/2, and Chyron systems, making it useful for site updates and production workflows.

Fetch 5.8.3 runs on MacOS for Intel and Apple Silicon, with the compatibility note covering Intel Mac OS X 10.5 or newer and providing information for older versions. It is freeware, and the developer also describes a 15-day free trial alongside different licensing options. Help is available through email, the web, FAQs, and a message board containing answers to thousands of questions.
