Fetch's Edit command lets you make changes to any kind of file in another application and save the changes back to the server automatically.
To edit a file:
- Connect to the server where the file is located.
- Select the file that you want to edit by clicking it.
- Click the Edit button in the toolbar, or choose Remote > Edit .
- The editor application for that kind of file opens. Make changes to the file.
- In the editor, choose File > Save . Fetch will automatically upload the changed file back to the server.
If Fetch does not open the application you would like to use for editing a certain kind of file — or you would like to use a different editor temporarily — hold down the Option key when clicking the Edit button or choosing the Edit menu item. Fetch will ask you to choose a different application to use for editing and whether you want Fetch to remember this choice for the future or not.
You can also choose a different editor to use temporarily with the Edit With submenu in the Remote menu or the contextual menus, or see the changing the editor for a file help topic for another method of specifying editors.
For more information, see the Edit command help topic.
