iGet Comparison Chart
|
This chart highlights some of iGet's key features. (We still recommend you try it out to fully appreciate it, though.)
As you can see, iGet started out with the goal of complete Mac compatibility (like AppleShare), but was also designed to have the the security and performance benefits of SFTP. To this mix, iGet then added its own unique features, such as intelligent resume and optimization for real-world Internet connections, making it the most complete and convenient Mac file transfer tool available. |
