Installation

1. Install the latest version of Fetch.
   
   

   Note: Fetch is not a free FTP client.

2. Once you open Fetch, you'll be asked to set up a new connection with the following information:
   
   Host Name: ftp-[your egnyte domain].egnyte.com. 
   Example: ftp-acme.egnyte.com
   
   User Name: [your user name] $ [your egnyte domain].
   Example: jsmith$acme
   

   If your FTP Client does not support $ symbol then you can use any of the following symbols: % # | @ &

   Connect using: FTP with TLS/SSL (for FTP or FTPES connections) or SFTP.
   
   Password: Your Egnyte password.
   Note: SSO authenticated users will have to set a “Non-SSO” password that is only used for FTP. This can be done from the My Preferences tab under My Profile in the Egnyte Web UI.
   
   
3. Click Connect.
4. Navigate to Preferences, select the Upload tab, and choose Binary (Raw Data) from the Default upload format drop-down.
   
   
   
   
5. Timestamps are preserved as a default, but you can toggle them off and on from the Obscure tab of the Preferences menu.
   
   

 

Upload Files

You can upload files by dragging from Finder or your desktop into the folder trees visible within Fetch's folder browser, or you can use the Put feature to browse for files.
