Fetch is a Macintosh program for transferring files. It uses the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) from a remote machine to your local machine or from your local machine to a remote machine. Fetch is free to users affiliated with an educational institution or charitable non-profit organization.

For those who have never worked with Fetch, written instructions and tutorial animations are provided to learn how to use the program. These tutorial animations are demonstrations of how to accomplish certain functions, as if the instructor was in the room demonstrating the task. Tutorial animations for Fetch require Shockwave to run. Directions on how to download Shockwave and a list of the animations available are found on the page.

Downloading a File

Tutorial animation available

Start your FETCH application.
The 'open connection' box pops up to allow you to enter host, user ID & password. Find out from your instructor what host, user ID, password, and directory you should be using for your course. Note: If this box does not pop-up when you start Fetch, you can get it by using the FILE menu and selecting New Connection. The information given on the graphics on this page is for demonstration purposes only. You will need to use the host name, user ID, password, and directory given by your facilitator.
- Enter the host (can be letters or numbers).
- Enter the user ID (or put 'anonymous').
- Enter the password if there is one, (could be your e-mail address), or leave it blank.
- Indicate a directory if one is known--pub is frequently used as a directory accessible to the public. If you are not sure, it is best to leave the directory blank. You can browse through the directories and files and pick the one you want once you are connected.
Once you are 'in' (connected), Check that your transfer format at the lower middle of your Fetch window has the Automatic mode selected (as opposed to 'Text' or 'Binary').
Next, go to the file you want by double-clicking and opening directories/folders. You can get the file by double-clicking on it, or by clicking on it once to select it and then using the Get File button.
Then a file selection dialog box will pop up that lets you select the folder and file name where you want to save the file you are getting. Pick the location (folder and file on your machine) where you would like to put the file you are fetching.
Your ability to put a file is not available on most sites. Most sites only allow you to get a file but not put a file.
You must close the connection when you are finished so other people can use the connection. You can close the connection by using the FILE menu and selecting Quit or by clicking on the Close Connection button in the top right corner of the FETCH window (if present).

Downloading a Whole Folder at a Time

Tutorial animation available

Read the section about downloading a file.
Start your FETCH application and fill in your host, user ID, password, and directory the same as in the downloading a file instructions. The information given on the graphics on this page is for demonstration purposes only. You will need to use the host name, user ID, password, and directory given by your facilitator.
Once you are connected, double-click to open the folders needed to get to the folder you want to download. When you find the folder you want to download, click once on it to select (highlight) it. Do not double-click on it because we do not want to open the folder.
As an example, if you were trying to get the whole folder named templates from Fermilab (which is in the edwebserver folder and then in the lincon folder), you would:
1. Double-click on edwebserver folder to open it.
2. Double-click on lincon folder to open it.
3. Click ONCE on templates folder to select/highlight it.
If you double-click accidentally on the name of the folder that you want to download, you can get back to the containing folder by using the menu in the top middle of your Fetch window to select the previous folder you were in.
Now from the Remote menu, choose Get Directories and Files.
In the file selection dialog box that pops up, click on the Desktop button, and then select your hard drive; use the existing folder name or type in a new name if you prefer, and click on Save. The whole folder will now be transferred from the remote computer onto your computer.

The Basics of Uploading Files

Start or open Fetch.
Your New Connection window may pop up automatically. If so, skip to the next step. If not, click on the Open Connection button when the Fetch window pops up. If your Fetch window does not have this button, use the File menu and select New Connection instead.
Fill in:
1. the name of the remote computer you want to put files on.
2. your user ID.
3. your password.
4. the folder path or directory on the remote computer you want to put your files. Here is an example:
Leave the Directory field blank if you don't know what folder path you want to be in on the remote computer. You can always browse through the folders on the remote computer after you are connected.
Now that you are connected, make sure that your Fetch will not add suffixes (like .txt and .bin) to the files you will put on the remote machine. Do this by clicking on Fetch's Customize menu, selecting Preferences and then selecting the topic Uploading in the dialog box. <
