What's the shortest route a file can travel between two computers? GlobalTransfer 1.0 can be quicker than e-mail and as easy as sending a fax. It lets you transfer a file from your PC to a colleague's Mac or vice versa. To send a file with GlobalTransfer, click on the Send Files button and select the file and recipient (from a phone book), and the file transfers to the recipient's computer. To receive files sent by others, click on the Receive Files button. GlobalTransfer directly transfers the files. You can also drag a file or a folder onto the GlobalTransfer icon or use Send To on the right-mouse-button menu.The program uses the cross-platform Zmodem file-transfer protocol to transfer files between PCs and Macs. GlobalTransfer, which only works with Windows 95 and Macs, transfers multiple files and confirms delivery. GlobalTransfer supports long filenames as well as SVD modems, so you can talk on the phone while transferring data. GlobalTransfer Lite, a free receive-only version, comes with the program, and you can send it to colleagues.
