Fetch for Mac
Start Fetch by double clicking on the Fetch icon on your hard
drive or on Mac_Software. Then:
- Type web.indstate.edu under host.
- Enter your username and password. If you are connecting to an
anonymous ftp site, (one that does not require a specific username and
password) type anonymous for your username and your full email address
for your password.
- Empty the directory field (highlight all the text using the
mouse and hit the delete key.)
- Click on OK. You will be connected to your web account. The
display window shows the directory and files of your web account.
To download files from your web account to your mac, simply
select the file and press the get button.
To upload files from your mac to your web account, press the
put
button and select the file to upload.
Note: Make sure you select the right file type, Raw Data
is for pictures, movies, sound files etc. and Text is for text files.
(This will normally be done for you if you have the 'auto' button selected
in the information window.) Also, make sure that the extension is correct--sometimes
Fetch will try to change your file names from name.html to name.html.txt.
