Fetch is a MAC OS X application for transferring files between your computer and a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Using Fetch, you can connect to an FTP server, browse directories and files on both systems, and transfer files between the systems.
Note: While most FTP servers allow you to download files to your computer, your ability to upload a file to a remote server depends on your access privileges.
For User ID and Password, enter your NMU ID and password in lower case letters.
Once connected, you will be able to browse directories on the remote server and your computer. Fetch supports a couple of methods to copy files:
The other method is to use the "Get" (downdload) and "Put Files" (upload) buttons to copy files.
Fetch can even copy entire folders, including their sub-folders, to the target location.
For additional information on FTP file transfers, see the Fetch program's help.

Click on the System Preferences item in the dock and then the dock preferences item to view or change the dock settings. You can reposition items by clicking and dragging them to a new location on the dock.
A stack is a dock item that gives you fast, convenient access to a folder of files. When you click a stack, the files within spring from the Dock in a fan or a grid, depending on the number of items (or the preference you set).
