TransferPro for UNIX 

Use Macintosh and MS-DOS files directly on your UNIX computer system!

Key Benefits

    •  FAST! Transfer files over ten times faster than your network while reducing network load

Why bog down your network transferring large files between workstations and personal computers? Use TransferPro to move those files to and from Macintosh, MS-DOS, or UNIX formatted cartridges or disks. TransferPro is faster than a network when copying large files.

    • Supports many types of media

TransferPro will read and write to any standard SCSI device with either DOS or Macintosh format, and in addition, will format the following types of devices:

  • Iomega Bernoulli, Zip, and Jaz cartridge drives
  • SyQuest drives in 44, 88, 200, 105, 270, and EZ135 formats
  • Magneto-optical drives up to 2.6GB and 512 bytes/sector (all formats) and 1024 bytes/sector (Macintosh only)
  • SCSI-based floppy and floptical drives, as well as internal floppy drives (non-SCSI)
  • Fixed SCSI hard drives
  • DataDock and Data Shuttle removable hard drives

TransferPro will also read Macintosh formatted CD-ROMs.

    • System administration not necessary

TransferPro eliminates the need to use commands like bar, tar, and mount. It also allows users to format Macintosh and MS-DOS devices without root privileges.

    • Additional features
      • TransferPro is compatible with the leading AppleShare file server systems, such as Helios EtherShare, IPT u-Share Partner, and Xinet K-AShare. 
      • TransferPro also conforms to the AppleSingle and AppleDouble file formats used by the Macintosh Application Environment. 
      • TransferPro can copy both parts of a typical Macintosh file, the resource and data forks, as well as convert the end-of-line character from the Macintosh carriage-return to the UNIX linefeed, or the PC carriage-return/linefeed to the UNIX linefeed, or any other combination. 
      • TransferPro will also convert known file types from the Mac to the appropriate extension on UNIX and back. This database of file types is fully expandable, so you can add the types you need for your particular applications. 
      • TransferPro performs all basic disk functions, such as copying and moving files, deleting files, and formatting disks as Macintosh or MS-DOS.
