Once you successfully establish a connection between PowerScript and a Macintosh com-
puter or a network, one way is to transfer files back and forth between the devices using
an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) application, such as Fetch. This section explains how to
use Fetch with PowerScript.
When you run Fetch on the computer platform, it acts just like any other client machine.
That is, you can use standard commands (such as get and put) to transfer files. However,
keep the following points in mind:
Refer to your Fetch documentation for additional information.
4 Click Connect to establish the connection. There is normally a slight delay while your
computer establishes the connection with PowerScript.
5 Once the connection is established, you can close the FreePPP component, or leave it
open, as you prefer.

Note
If you are using a Windows-based computer, you might prefer to use the PowerScript
Communicator software application for transferring files.
• PowerScript is the server, and the computer platform is the client. The client con-
trols everything that occurs between the devices. That is, you cannot initiate or
control a file transfer from PowerScript—you must control it from the computer.
• When you log in to the PowerScript server, it always defaults to using the front PC
Card slot—identified as slot A:.
• You can use the standard DOS command CD (Change Directory) to specify the PC
Card slot you want to use. For example, to specify the rear slot you can enter CD B:,
and press Return: to re-specify the front slot, enter CD A:, then press Return.
• You can specify a path name (or, directory) on a PC Card using the standard DOS
slash (/) or backslash (\) characters. For example, suppose you want to transfer a file
named AUTO.PLA to the KIOSK directory on the card inserted in the PowerScript
rear slot. You could do so by entering the following command on the client com-
puter:
PUT B:/KIOSK/AUTO.PLA AUTO.PLA
• When logging on to the PowerScript server, you do not need to enter a LogIn
name. The password is used only if you entered one in the FTP Password text box in
the SETUP:INTERNET menu (see "Internet Settings" on page 125).
• PowerScript is not case-sensitive. That is, you can enter information without regard
to upper or lower case. Entering BUBBA, Bubba, bubba, BuBBa, or any other varia-
tion is all the same to PowerScript.
• When entering a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), you can place a slash following
a drive identification. Here is a generic example:
ftp://name:password@location.company.com/B:/KIOSK/
