1. Get a copy of Fetch download fetch303.hqx (for Macintosh Only) 2. Get Online with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) 3. Configure Your FTP Client One common use for Fetch is transferring web pages to web servers. Web authors often create their HTML, GIF, JPEG, etc. files on a personal Macintosh, and use Fetch to transfer the pages to the server that will actually serve the files over the Internet. This tutorial section is aimed at walking you through your first such transfer. Before you start, you will need to gather four important pieces of information: 1) The hostname of the server that will hold your pages. It should be something like "yourdomain.com". 2) Your userid, the name under which you sign onto the server as provided to you when you ordered the site. 3) Your password. Again, this was already provided to you when you ordered the site. 4) The name of the directory which will hold your pages. Web pages are stored in a special directory named "virtual_html". To start, choose the New Connection... command from the File menu. Enter the four pieces of information in the four text fields, and press OK . If everything goes well you will see a list of the files in your web directory. Otherwise you will need to correct one or more of the pieces of information. Once you are connected, choose the Put Folders and Files... command from the Remote menu to upload your web page 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. Once the pages have been uploaded you should check them with a web browser. Enter the URL in the browser's Location field and check to make sure that all the images show up, and that all the links work. If there are problems you should double-check your HTML tags to make sure that they have the right file references. Your main page should be named "index.html" or "index.htm". CGI scripts need to go in a particular directory - /home/<username>/virtual_html/cgi-local, and you will need to set their execute permission bit. 4. FTPing files using your web browser If you have a 4.x or higher version of Netscape or Internet Explorer you can also FTP download and upload files using your web browser.  This is NOT recommended for uploading your site or transferring a large number of files.  This is only for the convenience of being able to upload or download a small number files from within your browser. To get FTP access to your site using a browser, type in the following URL in the URL bar at the top of your browser: ftp://<userid>:<password>@<yourdomainname.com> Where <userid> is your site user id and <password> is your site password and <yourdomainname.com> is your domain name. For example, if your user id is: web2 and your password is: apass3 and your domain name is: website.com, then the URL you type would be:  ftp://web2:apass3@website.com Once you type this in and hit enter, you will see your home directory listed in the browser.  The directories will appear as links which you can click on to traverse into them. A) Downloading a file: You can then right click on a file and select the "Copy to Folder" option to save the file on your local hard drive.  B) Uploading a file: You can select a file or group of files from your hard drive using Explorer and then right clicking and selecting the "Copy" option.  Then, switch over to your browser where you are already FTP connected to your site, right click on a directory and select the "Paste" option.  This will FTP upload the files from your workstation to the directory you right clicked on in your site.
