[Hidden-tech] Transporting large files

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Ann,

Welcome. I use Fetch from http://fetchsoftworks.com/. It's only $25  
and is a great FTP app. After it downloads, OSX will expand the dmg  
file and mount the disc image of the installer. Just drag the Fetch  
app into your applications folder and launch it!
Take a look at the ReadMe file. If you want, you can get the Help  
file in PDF format from http://fetchsoftworks.com/FetchHelp.pdf
It also runs from within the app.
As far as ftp is concerned, you'll need to arrange for ftp accounts  
at your various service bureaus or print shops. They'll give you the  
necessary settings for your Fetch shortcuts. This is usually the IP  
address of their server, your Username and Password, and sometimes a  
path setting to a specific folder on the server, though often you can  
leave that blank and the server will direct you there by default.

To set up a shortcut in Fetch--after launching the app--click on  
Customize/New Shortcut and enter the settings you were given, give  
the shortcut a name, and save the shortcut. From that point on, each  
time you launch Fetch a dialog box will open asking for you to choose  
a shortcut to connect to. Or you can choose File/Open Shortcut and  
pick one.

Pretty simple. If you run into trouble, give a holler.

Best,
Kimo
