It sounds like the correct host name is either "ftp.jdlasica.com" or "larry.dreamhost.com" (without the ftp :). Once you find information that works you can change the default shortcut so that Fetch won't suggest ftp.fetchsoftworks.com anymore. To make a new default shortcut, fill in the New Connection window and choose "Create New Default Shortcut..." from the Shortcut pop-up.
I would try ftp.jdlasica.com again, and post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window after you get an error. Choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu to reveal the transcript.
Thanks,

Tried the jdlasica.com again and got this message: Can't build data connection: Connection timed out.
Here's the full transcript:

I would recommend checking the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" box in the Firewall section of Preferences. If that does not help could you post the transcript again?
Thanks,

Sorry to trouble you kind folks, but after six months of sporadically trying to solve this myself, I turn to your expert advice.
I purchased fetch (version 4.03) on Feb. 19, 2003, for use on my Apple Titanium Powerbook, which is connected via Airport to a Netgear hub. Years ago, this same setup worked. But this time around, I have not been able to connect even once.
When I double-click on the Fetch icon, I get a dialogue box for a new connection. The default that comes up is:
host: ftp.fetchsoftworks.com
User ID
Password
It never accepts my password, even though my User ID and Password are the same ones I used to post this very message.
I then change the host to my domain name:
host: ftp.jdlasica.com
and enter the User ID and Password for my ISP, but after a minute it tells me:
Server response: Can't build data connection: Connection timed out.
I then enter the isp domain name that I use to upload files on my PC through GlobalScape's Cute FTP:
host: ftp:larry.dreamhost.com
And it tells me: No such domain name.
So I'm stumped. What do I do to get this working? Thanks!
