At the recent Macworld Expo in January we introduced Fetch 5.2, which adds FTP with TLS/SSL (FTPS) support, and Apple introduced its new Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) with 802.11n support. Unfortunately, a bug in the AEBS keeps it from working with Fetch’s new TLS/SSL feature. Our research has determined that it is not possible for Fetch (or any other secure FTP client) to make FTP with TLS/SSL connections through the new AEBS.

San Francisco, CA — Fetch Softworks is pleased to announce the availability of Fetch 5.2, the latest release of the original Macintosh file transfer program. Fetch 5.2 introduces WebView, a convenient way to view files in a web browser and copy web addresses from Fetch. New support for FTP with TLS/SSL (FTPS) makes Fetch 5.2 the first Macintosh FTP client to support all the major file transfer security standards: SSL, SFTP, and Kerberos. Fetch 5.2 also adds support for creating droplet shortcuts, for easy drag-and-drop uploading. Fetch 5.2 is available for downloading from fetchsoftworks.com and is a free upgrade for Fetch 5 users.

WebView is a useful new feature of Fetch 5.2, and as far as we know Fetch is the first FTP client to have a feature like it.
