The Put File button is used to transfer a file from your Macintosh to the host computer. When you press the button you will be prompted for the file you wish to send. Then you will see a dialog box that lets you set the name the file will be given on the other computer and the format it will be stored in. Be sure to pick a name that will be acceptable to the other machine (most systems require file names that are shorter than Macintosh file names and forbid the use of certain characters). Note that if a file of the name you specify already exists on the other computer it will be overwritten without warning.
The formats you can use when putting a file are Text, Wrapped Text, MacBinary II, Raw Data, BinHex, and AppleSingle. The first two are only available when putting a text file, but the other four are always available. Fetch assumes that you will usually want to save text files as Text, and other files in MacBinary II format. See the help topics for each format for more information.
The progress of the file transfer is shown in the Status panel. You can cancel the transfer by pressing the Cancel button.
You can upload multiple files and/or folders by pressing the Put File button with the Option key down. For information see the “Put Folders and Files” help topic.
