What do you like best?
Quick to install and easy to use. Love that you can just drag and drop files. The upload speed is painless and if I need to rename anything, I can do it right in Fetch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
I have never had any issues with it. Nothing I dislike! I would recommend Fetch to anyone needing to send files via FTP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
It's super easy to use and has never failed me. I also like that I purchased it once and I don't recall ever being asked to pay more for an upgraded version. It consistently works perfectly for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
No complaints at all and I've used this program for years. I've tried others and this is WAY easier and more user-friendly for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
It has history- this software has been around since 1989 and keeps improving and evolving. It is dependable and works! I like the Quick Look preview feature- saves lots of time when searching through files. And the drag and drop connection feature is super handy for remembering multiple connections.

What do you dislike?
I have no complaints about this product. When I do have a problem, which isn't often, Fetch offers great help forums and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We have depended on this software for file transfer (FTP) as it is the most reliable for Mac users"
What do you like best?
It's free for education (I work at a university) and it is very user friendly. The interface hasn't changed much over the past decade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
There isn't anything I dislike, I've never had a problem with it. We have tried other types of FTP software that did not work as well. FTP sites differ vastly from vendor to vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
Fetch has a beautiful, simple, friendly user interface that hasn't changed much in the 15 years I've been using it. It's incredibly easy to navigate to different parts of a server, upload, download, rename, delete - all the things you need to use FTP for. It's also super fast and very reliable (no dropped connections). I have to admit that I love the little running dog! I've tried other FTP clients for Mac but I keep coming back to Fetch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
Doesn't support multiple simultaneous uploads, as far as I can tell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
Fetch is easy to use even if you are a first time user. Everything is intuitive and there aren't any unnecessary bells and whistles. I love the drag and drop, it makes everything very quick and easy. Downloads and uploads are a breeze. I can feel comfortable recommending this product to a computer novice because it is so easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
The only minor annoyance is that sometimes that when the upload is complete there is no alert that it is complete, so if you are not at your desk it can be hard to tell if the upload was successful because after a period of time it disconnects. I understand why it need to disconnect but I don't understand why there can't be an "upload complete" message that remains on the screen until you close the program or something like that.

What do you like best?
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?
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 . . .

What do you like best?
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?
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.

What do you like best?
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?
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.

What do you like best?
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?
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.

What do you like best?
the ability to access ftp sites to get an advertisement from a client or to post an advertisement to a magazine. Also the ability to upload files to the printers so we can get proofs back for our magazines in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
there's really not much to dislike about this program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
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?
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.

What do you like best?
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?
No complaints- this product does its job and does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
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.
