Scott, ftp is built into the Mac. There are two ways to access it, if you open terminal and type ftp ftp.myaddress.com you can issue commands through the command line.
if you press command-k from the desktop, this allows you to log onto networks or sort of like windows drive mapping if you will. in the edit field, type ftp://myfiles.com(/) the item in perens is optional and can be used to extend the path like ftp://myfiles/public press enter and if a user id and pass word are required, you will be prompted for them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Lawlor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 9:00 AM Subject: Re: FTP client Hi. I must have missed part of this ftp thread because I saw a reference to command k but didn't know what program you use that in. I thought I saw something about using terminal for ftp but don't know if these two were related. I'm currently using the demo of fetcher for ftp but if there's a good accessible free alternative, I'd be interested in knowing what it is. Thanks for the help.
