When you start up Fetch the first thing you will see is the New Connection... box. In here you need input the Host which is in this case www.localdial, your User ID which is your logon name and your password for your logon name. See figure 1
Once your connection has been approved you will find a window appear with the following showing folders for the root directory of the server, a folder for the next level up and a public_html folder. Its on this public_html folder you need to double click. (see figure 2)
Now that you are in the public_html folder you can start uploading all the required files for your web site. As you can see from figure 3 there are some files already in your directory. Don't worry as these are put there when you open you account and you are free to delete them. To upload your web page files drag them from the desktop and onto the directory part of main window. You can also use the Get File... button if you prefer but I find dragging from the desktop a lot easier. Some Mac users may find that they can't drag and drop if they are not running System 7.5 (I think).
That was a very simple tutorial and shows only the basics of Fetch. You can also make new directories and delete files from Fetch. Be careful what you delete and make sure you enter your public_html directory before you start uploading. Don't worry as you won't be able do any serious damage to the server only to your own web files. To find out more about what Fetch can and can't do see the readme files that should have come with the program. |
