Fetch, an FTP program developed at Dartmouth (now licensed to Fetch
Softworks) for Macintosh users, is available for download free of charge from
the Web; see
Macintosh Connectivity Software.
Windows XP Professional and Vista users can use a program called
AbsoluteFTP, or a program called FTP Explorer, both of which
are available for download free of charge from the Web; see
Windows Connectivity Software.
There are many other FTP programs that can be used; the information
necessary for connecting to these servers is essentially the same in all
applications (field names may vary slightly).
For connections to all servers, leave the port setting to
its default (21).
To connect to the dropbox.dartmouth.edu server, enter the
following information:
Host Address: dropbox.dartmouth.edu
User ID: anonymous
Password: <your e-mail address>, e.g.,
John.A.Doe@Dartmouth.edu
Directory: (leave blank)
To connect to the ftplocal.dartmouth.edu server, enter the
following information:
Host Address: ftplocal.dartmouth.edu
User ID: anonymous
Password: <your e-mail address>, e.g.,
John.A.Doe@Dartmouth.edu
Directory: (leave blank)
To connect to the main Web server, www.dartmouth.edu, enter
the following information:
Host Address: www.dartmouth.edu
User ID: <your www.dartmouth.edu login name>
Password: <your www.dartmouth.edu password>
Directory: (leave blank)
Be sure to select raw data or binary, not
ASCII or text when transferring files to
servers.
Other machines may be available for FTP access (e.g., cobweb), but their use
is generally restricted to owners' accounts, and they are not generally used as
public or private transfer points between users.
Additionally, some Web browsers such as Internet Explorer,
Netscape, Safari, or Firefox can be used to connect
to FTP servers (older versions of Safari cannot). In the field
where the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is entered, enter
ftp://dropbox.dartmouth.edu/ (for example) to connect to the
dropbox.dartmouth.edu server using the FTP Protocol.
