Fetch?

I neeeeeed an FTP program for this iBook. I've searched on here for Fetch, but haven't been able to find it. Does it go by a different name now?

Also, now OpenOffice doesn't open. I start Start OpenOffice.org, and it starts, as does X11, but the actual OpenOffice program doesn't start. It's maddening. I'm going to try restarting to see if that helps... UPDATE: Works now -- but I still need an FTP application.

Geeky Mom Fugu is a gui ft

Fugu is a gui ftp program for the mac that I've used once in a while. You can also use sftp from terminal (under Utilities). That's what I use most often. You can even drag and drop your files to the line. I think Fetch now costs money--not much--but if you want something gui that's free, try fugu. Mozilla may also have one, but I'm not sure if it's for the mac.

fetching fetch

Fugu is a nice client, but, for some reason, I have a hard time getting it work for non-secure FTP. I know there is an educational version of fetch available, but I downloaded it from Bevoware, UT's software download service; perhaps Minnesota has a similar service. Here's the page for Fetch, but it looks like you have to apply for an academic license. Presumably, IT services at UT already negotiated a license with the Fetch folks.

Here's the link for Fugu, BTW.

Easy to fetch

Fetch is still around. You can get it here: http://fetchsoftworks.com/

If you have a .edu address you can 'purchase' the software for free. You download it, then enter your educational affiliation etc. and they send you a license for it.

RBrowser

I use RBrowser Lite. Works OK for me.

another good app is transmit...

i have both fetch (which i got from my last educational institution - cant find the licence) and transmit (which is only $30 for the most recent version https://www.panic.com/transmit/buy.html ). transmit picks up where fetch leaves off and has been my primary ftp client for a while now - i love it.

transmit!

I've used both Fetch and Transmit, and I'm a huge fan of Transmit. Very worth the $30. Versiontracker, BTW, is a useful site for finding shareware and freeware.

did you pick one yet? howzit

Hey, Khalil

I just downloaded RBrowser Lite, but I might get Transmit if I don't like it.
