Thanks so much for the free upgrade! Fetch has been my only FTP client ever.

Thank you for the free upgrade. Fetch is excellent, and has been my only FTP for over a decade.
I’ve made some gentle requests about the UI of 5.8: others welcome to agree or disagree.

I have submitted your support form twice about my education license # not working with Fetch 5.8. How can I get some help on this? I have submitted my license number in the support form.

Hi Scarlett,
I have responded to both your messages, but my guess is that a spam filter is blocking them. Hopefully you will see my response here!
Fetch 5.8 does not recognize some free educational and charitable use serial numbers from the early 2000s, namely ones beginning "FETCHED". If you are still using Fetch for educational or charitable purposes you can apply for a new one by going to:

Thank you!

Hi, I just downloaded 5.8 but when I try to connect to a host, Fetch just shuts down. I am currently running Mojave 10.14.6 and was getting the 32-bit message about Fetch 5.7.
Thanks! -

Great to have you back! (ie now 64 bit) And at no extra cost for the upgrade!

Thanks to you all.

Please please restore AppleScript support to Fetch -- most of my usage is via AppleScript and I will need to switch to another transfer app if you don't restore it soon.

Fetch 5.8, the 64-bit version of Fetch, is now available for download. The primary feature of this release is compatibility with macOS 10.15 Catalina. Fetch 5.7 users should only upgrade to Fetch 5.8 if they have moved, or will soon move, to Catalina.
A number of features of previous Fetch versions -- AppleScript and Automator support, non-English localizations, Kerberos and Bonjour support -- are not present in Fetch 5.8. We hope to restore some of these features in future updates.
Fetch 5.8 is a free update if you purchased your Fetch license after January 28, 2009; otherwise an upgrade is $10, and a new license is $29. Fetch 5.8 requires macOS 10.15 Catalina, 10.14 Mojave or 10.13 High Sierra.
Please download Fetch 5.8 from the Fetch Download page at https://fetchsoftworks.com/fetch/download . Fetch is no longer available in the Mac App Store; if you purchased a previous version of Fetch from the App Store and wish to upgrade to Fetch 5.8, please contact support at https://fetchsoftworks.com/fetch/feedback . And please let us know if you run into any problems with the new release.
I want to offer a special thanks to the beta testers who helped bring this release into being. It could not have happened without their patience and enthusiastic feedback.
