FreeTar packages the tar command line functionality into a familiar Mac OS X application. The user can drag files and folders onto the FreeTar application and FreeTar will do all the dirty work. The user will get a tar archive file ready for emailing, uploading to web or ftp sites, burning onto back-up CD's, or using in any one of the nearly infinite possible ways. The source code is also available.

Tar is not compressed.

You're right, it's not, but this program can be set up to gzip as well as tar -- it makes .tgz archives in one swoop. It's great.

This is great! A simple and easy to use app that does what it's supposed to. It works fast and smoothly, and the compressed files are less than half the size of the original. I used it to compress some jpeg images. They transferred successfully via email and ftp.

Thanks for this useful freebie!
