Accessing FTP Accounts
Instructions for using Fetch to access ftp
accounts
We hope that you will find the following instructions useful for
using the Fetch program to access the ftp accounts.
We have version 3.0.1 of Fetch on our Macs. You will want
to set up a "shortcut" for downloading the data.
Start Fetch and go to the customize popup menu and select
"new shortcut".
A dialog box appears which asks the following questions:
Name: type anything to name the shortcut say "ftp- "
type: (don't type anything here)
host: type
"wmkeck.med.yale.edu"
user id: type " yourid " (in lower case
letters, very important)
password: type " PAssword" (exactly as given
to you--case sensitive, very important)
directory: (don't type anything here)
Click on the OK box and the new shortcut will be saved. It
can be found on the open shortcut popup menu under the
file menu.
To use: Select the new shortcut from the
popup menu. The program will place you in the /pub
directory where your sequences will be found in a folder with
your name on it..
To download sequences: Select the appropriate sequences
from the /pub directory and click on the get file(s)
button. A dialog box will appear asking you where you want to save
the files on your hard disk, floppy disk, etc. Navigate
using standard Macintosh procedures to the desired folder and
click the Save button. The files will be dowloaded to the
selected folder.
To leave the ftp site: Click the close box on the
upper left hand corner of the window or quit the program with
the quit command under the file menu.
Please download your data and archive it. Periodically
(perhaps monthly or bimonthly), we will clean out old files from each
ftp account.
