 How to Fetch (FTP)

  • Fetch is the Mac equivalent of ftp.
  • You will need to open up the program called "Fetch" (Fig. 1) if it is not already opened. It will be set to connect to ernie or bert. You need to type in your login name, hit tab, and then type in your password (Fig. 2). After you have done this, then hit the return key. If you hit return after typing in your name, you will get an incorrect password error.
  • Your eecs account files will show as a vertical list in the text field of the fetch window(Fig. 3).
  • Choose the directory you would like to put your image in by double clicking on that directory name. The contents of the new directory should show in the text field.
  • If you are fetching multiple images, go to "Remote" on the menubar. Choose the menu item "Put Folder". Everything that is in the "user" folder will show in a scrolled text field. Click on the images you want to fetch to your eecs account, and press the button "Add". When you are finished, press the button "Done".
  • In the "Fetch" window, press the button "Put". This will send your selected images to your account. You will see those images appear in the text field that is showing the contents of your account. You will want to use the file transfer mode of "Raw Data" for your transfer.
  • When you have successfully fetched your files, go to "File" on the menu bar and choose "Close". If you do not your account will be open and accessible by others.

 Common courtesy

  • Scanning takes time. Please keep your scans to a minimum if there are others waiting.
  • Images take up a lot of disk space. Please delete your images from the "User" folder when you are done. Do this by going to "File" then "Delete". This should be done when the "User" folder is showing. You will see a scrolled text field. Select the images you want to delete. Multiple images can be selected by holding down the open apple key on the lower left of the keyboard and clicking on the names of the images. When you are finished, press the button "Delete". A confirmation dialog will appear to confirm the deletion. Push the button "Delete".
