Fetch is an FTP client (file upload program) developed for Mac that you can use to upload files to your Loopia web hosting via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and SFTP (Secure FTP / SSH FTP). It is a good choice if you want a simple FTP program with an easy-to-understand interface. You can download Fetch from the Fetch Softworks download page.
Connect to your Loopia FTP account in Fetch
Install and start Fetch according to the instructions supplied with the program. In the New Connection dialogue, enter the following details:
- Hostname: ftpcluster.loopia.se
- Username: example.com (replace example.com with your FTP username, normally your domain name)
- Password: your FTP password
For an encrypted connection, set Connect using to FTP with TLS/SSL or SFTP. Click Connect to log in to the FTP server.
Upload files to your website
The main window shows the files on the FTP server. The Get and Put buttons at the top of the window are used to download files from the server and upload files to it.
Navigate into the folder for your domain name and then into public_html/. All files that you want to be publicly visible under your domain must be placed in this folder.
