For PC users:
UWO provides software for PC users that works in a similar way to Fetch. S-FTP is actually easier to use than Fetch because it shows you the remote directory (the server) and the local (your computer) in one window. You can get information on it from ITS in the document, Get Started with S-FTP [new window].

If you would like to work on your website at home on a PC, you will need a copy of You can find a copy of S-FTP here, on the ITS servers.  It's at the bottom and the title is: SSH Secure Telnet and FTP v3.2.9. [new window]

Here are the quick and dirty instructions for how to publish using the Fetch software on the Macs:

1. Launch fetch and connect to panther. (Go to File and "open connection".) The dialog box should be filled out as follows:

Host: panther.uwo.ca
Userid: marayner
Password: crazy multi-character thing
Directory: should be blank

2. At the top find the button called "Directories" - create a new directory under public_html - this is where all of your html documents are kept in your personal space. Double-click public_html so that you are inside the folder.

3. Under Directories, create a new directory called: mit220

4. Double-click on the folder called mit220

5. Create another new directory called: images

6. Go to Remote and scroll down to Put Files and Folders

-move over your images to the "images" folder
-make sure the format is set as "raw data" when you are moving image files (jpg or gif files) over

7. Return to Remote and go to Put Files and Folders

-move your index.htm file over to the mit220 directory

Reminders:

  • Remember to go into the public_html folder when you send something over
  • If you are using the PUT and GET commands, remember that the format dialog should be set to "text" for html files and "raw data" for gif & jpg files
  • It always works best if your local file structure (on your computer or zip disk) mirrors the file structure on the server
  • PUT sends files and folders to the (remode) server from your local disk (your computer's hard drive or zip disk)
  • GET downloads files and folders from the (remote) server to your local disk.
