Product Description:

Access your Mac's files securely from anywhere in the world by web browser or iPhone, via an elegant, Mac-like interface and your own URL.

FarFinder brings you remote access to your Mac's files from any computer: Mac, Windows or Linux, using only a web browser.

Even better, the specialised iPhone interface means you really do have access to your Mac anytime, anywhere.

FarFinder provides the most Mac-like multi-platform remote access available, with an interface almost indistinguishable from the "real" Finder. You can browse the contents of your Mac, download and upload files, and more - all from within any popular web browser.

You also have the full power of Spotlight searches to find files quickly, and like on the Mac, Finder searches let you be more specific about where to look. Elsewhere you can pay three times the price for this feature alone.

FarFinder also lets you keep an eye on what's going on at home by taking a photo through your Mac's built-in camera.

Try FarFinder and find out why Macworld UK described it as "Better Than Back to My Mac".

FarFinder Reviewworks well and priced right - Version: 1.1.2, 8/31/2008 03:03PM PST

I use FarFinder on a couple of my Macs and it works like a champ from any web browser and even from the iPhone, allowing me to remotely upload/download files from my office computer when I'm at a client's or otherwise not in the office. I'm surprised by the lack of reviews of the product considering its price point and feature set relative to the competition. I've also tried Searchlight, which seems to be a very good product as well, but is roughly three times the price and doesn't allow users to browse remote files (so far as I can figure out).

By contrast, FarFinder allows one to browse files or use Spotlight to immediately find anything by content/name. In addition, the developer has been extremely responsive to any questions I've had. The only thing that I wish FarFinder had that Searchlight does is the ability to recognize server user accounts or sharing-only accounts. Currently, FarFinder only recognizes local accounts that have an actual home folder. Hopefully this is a feature FlyingMac is working on, but I don't know.

Overall, FarFinder gets my enthusiastic endorsement, making it that much easier to be productive wherever I am!
