Fetch Review
Fetch is a Mac OS only, proprietary licensed FTP client which enjoyed brief popularity with the Macintosh community. It is still developed by its creator, Jim Matthews, who developed it as an employee at Dartmouth College. Eleven years later, Mr. Matthews won money on a television game-show, bought the source code and Fetch name, and established Fetch Softworks. As an FTP client, it does not justify the USD $25 licensing cost, and it certainly doesn't justify the costs to upgrade the software when the market is absolutely flooded with free, cross-platform software that can keep up with the grade of commercial software. Users report that, even though the software is designed for a single operating system, it still has errors with generating the user interface and skimps on industry-standard features like overwrite confirmations. Unless you feel sentimental or have a penchant for puppies, Fetch isn't worth the trouble when it's out-performed by free FTP clients.
