Connecting and Signing On When you first open Fetch you are presented with the sign-on dialog box; at other times you can choose New Connection... from the File menu in order to see that dialog. The sign-on dialog has fields for entering four pieces of information:
top Finding Files and Directories Most computers divide their files among directories, which are equivalent to folders on the Macintosh. In order to get a file you should first go to the proper directory. Fetch displays the name of the current directory above the list on the left side of the window. The list contains the names of the files and sub-directories in the current directory. top Uploading Files One common use for Fetch is transferring files to servers. This tutorial section is aimed at walking you through your first such transfer. You may also want to read the other tutorial sections, but they are not required. Before you start, you will need to gather four important pieces of information: 1) The hostname of the server that will hold your files. It should be " ftp.capitolpress.com ". 2) Your userid , the name under which you sign onto the server. This will be provided by your sales person. 3) Your password . This will be provided by your sales person. 4) The name of the directory which will hold your pages. It is sometimes the case that web pages are stored in a special directory named "public_html". PLEASE NOTE: PASSWORDS ARE CASE SENSITIVE A common problem occurs when you try to select text (password) and accidentally grab an extra space. To start, choose the New Connection... command from the File menu. Enter the four pieces of information in the four text fields, and click OK.
Once you are connected, choose the Put Folders and Files command from the Remote menu to upload your files. If all of the files are in one folder, you can navigate to that folder and use the Add All button to add them to the list of items to be uploaded. Otherwise you can choose them one by one. You can also add folders to the list of items to be uploaded. Next you will be asked what formats to use for the transfer. You want to choose "Text" as the format for text files, and "Raw Data" as the format for all other files (such as images). Then press OK to begin the transfer. top  1. This is where you would be typing in the host name of our server ftp.capitolpress.com 2. Your User ID that we provided you would go here. 3. You need to have your password to type in here. 4. If you have an account name, this is where you would enter it. 5. After you have completed these steps you can proceed in connecting to our drop. Top  When connected you will see a screen similar to this one above. On the left hand side (7) will be a directory of your computer and files.
