Below is connection information for some of the most popular Internet providers. This is the information you would use to make an FTP connection to upload webpages, or other files you want to share using those provider's servers.

In many cases, links to more detailed instructions for connecting and uploading files to the providers below can be found on the Fetch Softworks Links webpage.

Please note that Fetch Softworks cannot know the information for all providers, and while we have made our best effort to make sure the information below is up-to-date and correct, providers do change the names of their servers from time to time. If you encounter problems, or are unsure of the information needed to connect, please contact your Internet provider first.

Type the information following the bolded words into the fields of the New Connection dialog with the same names. Replace the information in parenthesis with your specific information. In most cases, your username is the same as the first part of your email address — the part to the left of the "@".
