"Best FTP Program for the Mac, Hands Down!"

5/5

What do you like best about Fetch Softworks?

What I like best about Fetch is the ease of use. I have a number of FTP programs, but Fetch is by far the easier to use. I have used Fetch now for a number of years and it has absolutely met all of our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks?

Dislike? Is there something to dislike? I've thought about this question and I'm drawing a blank. If I really wanted to reach for something, I guess the ability to reorder the shortcuts by dragging and dropping them in the order I want them. But other than that . . . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks:

You won't be disappointed. Absolutely the best FTP program out there for the Mac. The developers of Fetch are always updating it and I honestly cannot remember paying for an update. At the time of this writing Fetch is $29. I mean, COME ON! This FTP program is worth 3x's that cost. I've got other FTP programs I actually paid more for but they sit in my applications folder, unopened. As a web developer I use Fetch daily, in fact it stays open on my computer. I don't recall ever having to contact the developer with issues, there just isn't any issues. Fetch is definitely a "must have" for anyone uploading and downloading files via FTP, especially on a Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Productivity. Fetch is fast, quick to launch, runs lean and you don't wait on a "spinning wheel" before it loads. You click on the icon, it's up and waiting on you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fetch is an old dog in a new digital world"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Fetch Softworks?

not much. It is a piece of software rarely used by me or any of my clients or suppliers. There are several alternatives that are much simpler and faster to use, without passwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks?

Fetch makes you first find the server your client or supplier pointed you to in an email, sign in with a password, then either download or upload files to a specific folder on that server. It's a long and time consuming process which sometimes doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks:

Try Dropbox or Yousendit.com they're easier to use and don't require passwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have come to use two alternate software options: Dropbox, which is super convenient to connect to and up and download, or Yousendit.com which is equally simple and quick, with the drawback vs Dropbox in that the files you send are in cyberspace for only 14 days.

"Fetch for back end web FTP"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Fetch Softworks?

I like how it helps me to login to the back end of a website in order to update files quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks?

I wish I could do more with the website design such as WYSIWYG but uploading files through fetch streamlines the previous process of manually doing it through the hosting service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks:

This is a great tool to utilize when working with many different websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it when updating websites for clients. I can use it with any website, but go through the software instead of the individual admin logins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used on a daily basis and couldn't be easier."

4/5

What do you like best about Fetch Softworks?

I have been using Fetch for 5+ years to support my personal website. It is super simple to use and to change and update material when needed. It doesn't have any delay when I update material on my website and that is extra important when I am rushing to get client work updated and my personal work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks?

At times and this is few and far between there can be glitches or errors when I try and log into specific clients systems, but like most programs I expect errors here and there, nothing is perfect. That is one plus with fetch if there happens to be and error it isn't for an extended time it is fixed ASAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks:

I recommend Fetch to friends and colleagues whenever possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

No real business problems, all and all fetch is just a simple program to use when I need to put large files on the backend of my site. Or if I need to update a clients work it makes things so simple and smooth I rarely have issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Always handy for quick file transfer!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Fetch Softworks?

The ease of use is really outstanding. Having it right on my desktop allows me to throw many files on my server all at once, without having to babysit the upload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks?

The old FTP protocols are less known than Cloud software such as DropBox. People simply don't think about FTP and Fetch anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Fetch Softworks:

If you don't want to rely on Dropbox or similar Cloud-based backups, Fetch will allow you to save items directly to your server. This is great when you are a freelancer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fetch Softworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Updating working websites by dragging entire folders to Fetch is a very easy workaround for when Dreamweaver gets persnickety. I like the simplicity of Fetch, and use it to drag and drop files on to my server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very simple, clean file sharing interface (Mac version)"

5/5

What do you like best about Fetch Softworks?

Functions just like your file browser, making it very simple to transfer files. Price is very low and it does its job very well. Comparable to filezilla, but instead of working through directories it surfaces the important items to help you keep organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fetch Softworks?

No complaints- this product does its job and does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and clean program "

5/5

What do you like best about Fetch Softworks?

This program offers a simple and clean interface when editing content. The small cost of the program is worth the money. I would spend the money and use Fetch instead of using some of the (free) competitors. You can easily edit file names, upload and download files. You view the content as if it were a clean webpage.
