USING FTP FOR APPLE MACINTOSH USERS
Detailed instructions are provided for two contexts:
These instructions assume that your id is "xx003" and that the home page on your local system is named "index.html".
A version of ZipIt for the Mac can be found at http://www.awa.com/softlock/zipit/zipit.html.
Using FTP for Mac, with Fetch 3.0 and a standard SLIP or PPP Internet account
Login to the Union using Fetch 3.0
- Open Config PPP and Login to your SLIP or PPP Account
- Open the Fetch Application and wait for it to connnect (The Default Host is usually "Dartmouth"; just let that connect this time)
- Select New Shortcut from the Customize menu
- Enter the following information:
- Name: Union
- Type: Folder
- Host: uahc.org
- User ID: xx003
- Password: Presumably you know your password
- Directory: [leave this blank]
- Click OK and wait to connect
If you want Union to be your Default Host and be selected automatically when you launch Fetch
- Select Preferences from the Customize menu
- Select Union from the Default menu under General
- Select Raw Data from the Upload menu as the Default non-text fomat
To Upload Web Files to your user account

- Click the Put File dialogue box
- Select the file you wish to upload.

Repeat the previous steps to install additional files. To update a file currently stored at the Union simply "Put" a new file with the same name and it will overwrite the previous version.
To disconnect from the server
- Click on the Close box in the upper left hand corner of the FTP dialogue box.

Using the web browser software supported by America Online.

To copy a file to your FTP directory at the Union
- Click Image, if you are uploading a graphic file, ASCII if you are uploading a text file, or Auto if you are uploading a Zip file
- Pull Down the FTP Menu However, there is no harm (only a slight loss of efficiency) if you send all your files in Auto mode.
- Select Put...
- Highlight the file (or files) you wish to upload
- Multiple files may be compressed using ZipIt before transfer
- Click Open
To install a file in your Web directory
- Pull Down the FTP Menu

- site exec hunpack xx003/myweb.zip reform/uahc/congs/xx/xx003
- Click OK
You will see a series of messages at the bottom indicating the installation has taken place.
Note: The use of .zip files and hunpack creates all necessary Web subdirectories and is the only way to create a Web subdirectory at the Union.

- Highlight its name and click Remove
To exit from FTP
- Click the Close box in the upper left hand corner of the FTP dialogue box. At the bottom of the screen you will see the Union signoff with "Goodbye"
