Connecting With Fetch
When you first start Fetch, the New Connection dialog appears.
You can choose New Connection from the File menu to display the dialog at other times.
The New Connection dialog has fields for entering the following pieces of information:
• Hostname: the name of the server you want to transfer files from or to
• Username: the name of your account on that server
• Connect using: how you're going to connect to the server (usually FTP or SFTP)
• Password: the password for your account
Using files and folders with Fetch
Fetch displays directories as folders, and in Fetch and the Fetch Help they are referred to as folders or “remote folders”. Fetch displays remote folders similar to the way the Mac OS Finder displays folders in the list view.
1. Once you are connected, the name of the current folder is shown in the title bar of the transfer window.
2. You can change to a different folder in several ways: Double-clicking the name of a folder in the file list (or selecting it and pressing Command-O or Command-Down arrow) will go to that folder.
3. The Path button in the transfer window toolbar displays a pop-up menu that lets you go to any folder that contains the current folder.
4. The Back button in the transfer window toolbar takes you back to the folder you were previously viewing.
5. Finally, the Recent button in the transfer window toolbar list folders you have recently visited on this server. You may quickly return to any of them by choosing one from the menu.
Download files with Fetch
To download a file or folder:
1. Select the file and click the Get button in the 51 toolbars. You can also get a file by double-clicking its icon or name.
2. To get multiple files or folders, click them while holding down the Command or Shift key, and then click the Get button in the toolbar.
3. You can also get files and folders by dragging them from the Fetch file list to the Finder.
4. To get a file correctly, Fetch has to communicate with the server in text mode or binary mode. Normally Fetch uses Automatic download mode, in which it decides the mode to use for a file based on its filename extension.
Upload files with Fetch
To upload a single file from your Macintosh to ExaVault server:
1. Click the Put button in the transfer window toolbar, or choose Put from the Remote menu.
2. Select a file. You can also enter a new name to give to the uploaded file, or choose a different format for uploading the file.
3. The automatic format is the recommended setting, as it will usually pick the correct format for the file.
