Publish your web site - using Fetch to upload (Mac)

FTP Stands for File Transfer Protocol and is the most common way of sending files on the Internet. Many organisations make software available on "Anonymous FTP Sites". This is a computer that allows people to log in anonymously in order to download files.

Fetch FTP is the most commonly used FTP program for Macintosh Operating Systems. Due in large part to its easy-to-use interface, with lots of extra features.
