Fetch -- for WWW publishing

To place documents in your UNIX account, it is easiest to use Fetch (available on the Classics server; copy the Installer to your computer and double-click to install). For use by all who have IF (Individually Funded) or AJAF-stem UNIX account (UTS or CCWF) at the University.

*** When following these same procedures to store documents in your UNIX account for backup, please be sure that they are NOT in your public_html directory, but in a different directory on the same level as public_html. Anything in public_html can be accessed by others and should be considered published.***

Prepare your WWW materials.

• Text should be in text-only format (not in MS Word, for example); saving it in Claris HomePage or Simple Text will make sure of this. The file name should end in .htm or .html (e.g., text.html).
• Images must be in GIF or JPEG format, with the appropriate extension (e.g., picture.gif or picture.jpg).
• Place all images together into the same folder as the html document on which they are to appear and write links accordingly. Remember to include the name of the folder in your URL (http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~ajafxxx/folder/text.html).

Upload to public_html.

1. Launch Fetch. Double-click on the Fetch icon if on your computer; in the Lab, select Fetch from the Apple Menu --> Internet.

• File --> Open a new connection and type in your UNIX machine and ID information. If you have changed your User Name, type it instead of your IF or AJAF number.
• For WWW publishing, use the "public_html" directory.

You will see a list of the files and folders in your public_html directory. Use the pull-down bar to change into a different folder, if necessary. Save the settings from the Customize Menu on your machine; to floppy if in the lab.

2. To UPLOAD your completed WWW page, go to the "Remote" menu and select "Put Folders and Files." Select the folder containing your text and images, press "Add" and then "Done." This will PUT the entire folder with contents into your public_html directory.

To upload a selection of items inside a folder, click on each item and then "Add." When finished, press "Done."

To UPLOAD single items, use the Put File button.

For a text document, select the "Text" radio button. Press "Put File," and select the document (e.g., text.html).

For an image (a GIF or JPEG), select the "Binary" radio button. Press "Put File," select the image, and then make sure the pull-down options are set to RAW DATA.

3. To DOWNLOAD a file, copying it from your UNIX account to your Mac, follow the same procedure but use "Get." Set the radio buttons to "Text" for text and "Binary" for images. Click on "Get File."

To download several files or an entire folder, select them in the window and use "Remote --> Get Folders and Files."
