Fetch is a Macintosh program for transferring files. It uses the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and therefore allows a networked Macintosh to transfer files with any connected machine that supports FTP. Fetch requires a Mac 512KE, System 4.1, and either KSP 1.03 or MacTCP.
If you have questions or comments about Fetch please send them to Jim Matthews (or to Fetch@Dartmouth.edu).

Where to start
If you are familiar with file transfer and FTP specifically you should start with the “Quick Guide to Fetch” topic. If you are new to file transfer and would like to to learn in a step-by-step fashion you should try “A Fetch Tutorial.” All of the Fetch commands and screen elements are explained under the “Reference” heading, and most computer terms used in the help screens are defined under “Glossary of Terms.”
