[Patrick McNeal]

Good Afternoon,

Information Services & Technology (IS&T) is pleased to announce full

files safely across the network to another computer using FTP (File  
Transfer Protocol) or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).  It uses

data secret.  This version of Fetch is recommended for all users.
