Don't Send a Fish to Do a Puppy's Job

Meet Spot, he fetches files for me much better than a blowfish. Metaphorically it makes sense.

A local private school asked me to update their website for them before the school year started. They gave me most of the necessary information but I could not connect to the FTP server to save my life. I don't why I'd need to connect to an FTP server to save my life but I couldn't do it, I'd be dead like dinner.

I called the help desk of the web host and they gave me some useful information but not much of a help. I could connect through Firefox but not Dreamweaver or Fugu (the aforementioned blowfish). Of course no one at the help desk knew anything about the programs I was using or about Macs. Oy with the poodles already. While I waited for a supervisor to call me back I decided to try to download a different ftp program to see if I could get it to work. I read a review about Fetch and low and behold it worked. A puppy saved Janny's weekend

  1. Hi Janny,

    I'm glad that Fetch could help! Would you be interested in having a Fetch plush toy? If so, please drop me a message (jim at fetchsoftworks dot com) with your address, and I'll put one in the mail.

    Thanks!
