REOWEN  Fetch 5.6's support for remote editing has improved (though I'm not sure relative to what version). When you edit a file whose type is unknown it will ask you to assign an editor and allow you to store the setting. Option-Edit will allow you to temporarily or permanently change the setting. This is a clean solution. (I would also appreciate a way to edit the whole list of mappings, but that does require a complex new window).

Minor annoyances remain:

* There is no way to assign double-click to mean Edit (unlike Yummy FTP).

* Fetch still requires a nonsense password for sftp when using public key authentication. It should not ask for a password at all. This is admittedly a minor annoyance, but adding all those nonsense passwords to your keychain clutters it up with garbage. I am shocked at how long this misfeature has been allowed to persist.

* Still no way to set server-specific properties (such as special settings). This is obscure and most users will not care. But for those who need the special settings, they're not going to want to apply them to all servers.

Fetch was, and I assume still is, is an excellent sftp client. They all have quirks so you should try out several before you buy. I'm personally happier with Yummy FTP, but before that I was very happy with Fetch (until remote editing with different editors was first introduced, in a way that ruined my workflow; I'm very glad to se that is now fixed). I found it to be very solid and well supported. Well worth checking out.

AAPPLE  It is nice to get the discount, but the only way to get the discount for an upgrade is to send credit card info over an open unencrypted channel within the app. Isn't there a better way?

KOBALT  "Added automatic resume of stalled or failed downloads."

This alone makes me want to download the update of this fine app. Been using it for years with no hassles ever. Highly recommended.

CAINER  Support developers by paying them for the work they do.

Do you work for no pay?

AKANICO  $10 to upgrade from the 5.3 to 5.5 ?

What is the big improvement to motivate users ?

Sorry guys, I'd rather give it to Cyberduck for not charging people with a great ftp software...

OPETER  Really nice application, using it since two years. I got it with the MacUpdate bundle in 2007, yesterday I buyed the 5.5 upgrade for 10 $.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION:

How can I CHMOD a whole folder, I mean, the files inside a folder? I know, I can choose a folder, press the "Get Info" and change the permissions in that window.

But what, if I have a a folder, with many subfolder and many files inside? Is the only option to CHMOD all these, to open every folder manually and use the get info?

This is very time consuming to make this will all subfolders and files.

Is there any option, to make this somehow faster?

EXORZIST  A trustworthy application, well done. Very stable. I use it since two years or more.

29$ is a good price for this kind of backbone-quality.

It does the job in the most professional way. Thats why I bought it. I also remember we used Fetch in the office over 10 years ago.

Recommended.

MJC  Following on from my 3-star hatred rating of 5.5.0 below, I'm awarding this update 5-stars again. All the problems with the initial release have now been fixed (I've been given their Beta for the past few weeks before this full release) and I'm a happy camper again.

Big thanks to Scott and his colleagues for all their help over the past month. You deserve it. A++

ACCOUNTCLOSED  Fetch has been around under the care of dedicated and responsive developers for years. IMO it's hands down the best FTP client available for OS X. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

ORION MK. V  Fetch WAS great, but in this modern day and age it's just not worth the money IMHO. I keep trying Fetch, but I find myself returning to Transmit (shareware) or Cyberduck (free).
