 |
Bonjour Why remember a server name or IP address, when servers around you just "appear". Select and connect. Can it get any easier? |
 |
MacOS-like interface Simplicity of renaming, moving, copying, duplicating, deleting, labelling, commenting... in a way that is familiar to you. |
 |
Growl Support for 3rd party Growl Notifications for better visual feedback. |
But wait there's more... ... much much more. |
Other things to know:
- Super fast transfers. In fact it is possibly the fastest FTP client when transferring files to the server over a single connection. NetFinder 2.x users can expect up to a 40x speed increase on certain operations.
- Advanced mirroring/syncing support of remote and local files/folders.
NetFinder is the first to bring you a nice dynamically filterable self contained report which you can filter items in the report with a single click, while being able to send these reports to anyone else to view and print out. - iWeb: NetFinder works perfectly well with iWeb too, for all your web publishing needs if you don't have a .mac account.

What is X-Assist?
X-Assist was created to assist in the much loved but missing features of OS 9 in OSX. Over time other helpful features have been added.
Specifically:
- Application Switcher Menu (top right corner of screen)
X-Assist has a similar implementation.
- Quick access to "Recent Applications".
X-Assist has no "limit".
- The ability to add personal hierarchies of items in an OS9-like "apple" menu.
X-Assist allows users to add any hierarchy into a "Shortcuts" submenu.
- An extensible "Control Strip" like plugin architecture.
X-Assist supports Objective-C (NSBundle) plugins.
They are easy to write, and examples "SetVolume" and "MP3 Player"
plugins are provided in this distribution.
- OS 9 window behavior - when you switch applications by clicking in a window,
all windows for that application are shown. This behavior has changed in OSX and can be a bit annoying.
X-Assist brings back the OS9 windowing functionality and also allows you to toggle between modes.
- Easy access to System Preferences (Control Panels).
