Macs on the Go

The Go menu is handy when you know the name and password of an FTP site where you can share files while on your travels. We were able to upload chapters of this book to the Peachpit server while in another country.

You won't see the Go menu unless you're at the Finder/Desktop, of course!

To connect to another server, such as an FTP site:

1.

From the Go menu, choose "Connect to Server...."

2.

In the "Connect to Server" window (below), enter the FTP address you were given. Click "Connect."

3.

Enter the user name and password for the FTP site. Click OK.

4.

The FTP site window appears on your Desktop, as shown below. You can drag files into and out of it.

This icon appears on your Desktop.

To open the site window, double-click this icon.

To disconnect, drag this icon to the Trash.

To reconnect quickly and easily, make an alias of this icon.
