Accellion's unique, user-friendly file transfer appliance allows Mac-based professionals to quickly and securely transfer files without adding administrative overhead or infrastructure burden.

An award-winning file transfer appliance, Accellion's Courier FTA supports browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Netscape Communicator, and Internet Explorer for Mac OS X to provide users with an intuitive interface, end-to-end file security, and policy-based file lifecycle management.
