Making The Connection You only need to do step 1 once.

 The next time you call up your FTP tool, the "Session Profile" for "My Web Site" is there and just needs to be selected.

Once you are satisfied you have entered the correct information, Click "Apply" and then "OK". If you are not connected, you should be taken through the dial-up steps. You can also connect prior to starting an FTP session.

Once you click on the 'OK' button, your Mac should automatically come up and dial into the internet for you. If it doesn't, then click 'OK' on the error message and switch to the Finder and open the connection to the internet as normal (using PPP, ConfigPPP, FreePPP or whatever). Then you can go back to Fetch and open the connection again.

Once the connection is made, you may wish to save the session so you don't have to type everything in each time. To do this, go under the Customize menu and select New Shortcut.... Fetch will display a window with everything you previously typed in except for your password, which you can fill in if you don't wish to have to type it each time you connect to your server. Give it a name (under 'Name:') that is easy to remember.

3. Transfering Files

Once you see the Directory and files on the FTP Server, you know you are connected.

There are two kinds of file transfer, ASCII and Binary. ASCII is for text and Binary is for graphics. As a rule Choose Binary as it will handle both HTML and graphics.

There are two arrows, which indicate the direction of the file transfer. Note that these actions are irreversible. Once you transfer a file, it overwrites any file it finds with the same name and does not ask you if you want to do this. So be careful to pick the right direction if you've been updating files on the client machine. Also note that most web-servers run on Unix, which is case sensitive. This is the opposite of most desktop environments. What this means is that if you refer to a file in your HTML called "Example.html", but the file is actually named "example.html", it will work just fine locally but will not work correctly once uploaded.

There are two ways to transfer files up to the server: One at a time or serveral files all at once.

One at a time:

Click on the Put File... button and select the file you want transferred. The next box asks what file format you want it transferred as. If you are transferring a text file, use text or raw data. Use raw data for pictures and images. The easiest is to use raw data for everything. Click OK and your file will show up in the listing window in Fetch.

Multiple files:

Under the Remote menu, choose Put folders and files.... In the top window, choose the file to upload and click on the Add button, or if you are in the folder that has your entire web site, you can click on 'Add All'. The files to be uploaded will show up in the lower window. If you make a mistake, you can click on the file in the lower window and click 'Remove'. Pretty straightforward. When you've got all the files you want to have uploaded, click on Done. You'll then get a box that asks what file format you want it transferred as. If you are transferring a text file, use text or raw data. Use raw data for pictures and images (the easiest is to use raw data for everything). Click OK and your file will show up in the listing window in Fetch.
