When you first open Fetch you are presented with the sign-on dialog box; at other times you can press the Open Connection... button in order to see that dialog. The sign-on dialog has fields for entering four pieces of information:
Ñ the name of the machine you wish to transfer files with (or ╥host name╙)
Ñ the name of your account on that machine (or ╥user id╙)
Ñ the password for that account
Ñ the name of the starting directory (optional)
The sign-on dialog also contains a shortcut mechanism for filling in some or all of these fields. To the right of the word ╥Shortcuts╙ there is an icon representing a pop-up menu.
Example: Press on the icon to use the menu and select the item titled ╥Dartmouth Archives.╙ When you release the mouse the machine name, user id, and starting directory fields will be filled in. The machine name is ╥ftp.dartmouth.edu,╙ a Unix computer in Dartmouth╒s Kiewit Computation Center. Note that the user id is ╥anonymous.╙ Many machines, including ftp.dartmouth.edu, allow any user to transfer files with it as a guest, without specifying a password. You may then click the OK button to initiate the connection.
