QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert FETCHMIRROR to FETCHSHORTCUTS?
No - not a direct conversion.

These are two unrelated Fetch document types. A .fetchmirror describes a single mirror operation (local and remote paths, host, user, delete rules), whereas a .fetchshortcuts is a saved collection of connection bookmarks. There is no meaningful conversion; you would recreate the shortcuts you need in Fetch itself.

Why convert FETCHMIRROR to FETCHSHORTCUTS?

Both files are created by Fetch, the macOS FTP/SFTP client, but they hold completely different data. A .fetchmirror is a saved Mirror window configuration, while a .fetchshortcuts file is an exported group of shortcuts. Converting between them is like turning a saved search into an address book - the information does not correspond.

How to convert FETCHMIRROR to FETCHSHORTCUTS

Recreate shortcuts in Fetch FREE

Open the .fetchmirror in Fetch to see its host and paths, then in the Fetch Shortcuts window choose Shortcut > New Shortcut and enter that server so it can be saved to a .fetchshortcuts file.

Export shortcuts from Fetch FREE

In the Fetch Shortcuts window, select the shortcuts and drag them to the Finder (or use the shortcuts export) to produce a .fetchshortcuts file - independently of any mirror document.

Quality & what to watch

  • The two formats carry different data, so no tool converts one into the other.
  • At most you can read the server details from a .fetchmirror and manually build a matching shortcut.
  • Mirror-specific settings like delete-stray-items rules have no equivalent in a shortcuts file and are simply dropped.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I convert .fetchmirror to .fetchshortcuts?
They store unrelated things - mirror-sync settings versus a list of saved shortcuts - so there is nothing to map between them.
Are both files made by Fetch?
Yes, both are Fetch documents, but they serve different windows and purposes.
Can I reuse a mirror's server as a shortcut?
You can read the host and path from the mirror document and manually create a matching shortcut in Fetch.
Is there a converter app for this?
No. Because the data does not correspond, no converter exists; you recreate what you need inside Fetch.
