StuffIt! is a popular archiving program from Aladdin Systems that allows users to combine multiple files and folders into one compressed file. The StuffIt! format has become a common way to keep Macintosh files on FTP servers, since the compressed files take less room. Fetch can automatically recognize StuffIt! archives created by version 1.5 of the StuffIt! program, and uncompress them as they are downloaded.
Fetch can not uncompress encrypted archives, or archives created by StuffIt!'s commercial successor, StuffIt! Deluxe. In those cases the archives should be expanded by StuffIt Expander, a freeware program from Aladdin Systems. You can use the Post-Processing feature to make this happen automatically (see the Post-Processing topic).
╥Un-stuffing╙ can be turned on and off in the Preferences dialog box.
