Using Fetch to FTP From a Macintosh


Fetch is a file transfer applicaton for the Macintosh. It permits you to connect to a remote server, such as DANA to transfer files to or from your personal desktop computer.

Once you've launched FETCH, you will usually get the "New Connection" dialog box. Usually there will be a default location (as shown below ftp.dartmouth.edu) in the Host Window and the User ID and Password will be empty.

Since you want to go to the DANA server and not the Dartmouth FTP site, you need to change the Host information, add your UserID and Password.

To connect to the DANA Server use the following information.

Host:

dana.ucc.nau.edu

User ID:

Use your DANA Login UserID

Password:

Use your DANA Password

Directory:
