Retrieving Mathematica Notebook Files From Suns on a Macintosh

Mathematica Notebook files saved in banach on the Sun network in Bell Hall 215 can be retrieved and used on the Macintosh systems available in Bell Hall 130.

On the Macintosh system in Bell Hall 130, go to the Launcher menu and click on Internet. Then click on Fetch 2.1.2. An Open Connection box will appear. Under Host, enter math.utep.edu and then enter the user ID and password that you use on the Sun Network System in the designated areas. It is not necessary to enter any information on Directory, but if you know the Sun directory of the file that you wish to retrieve, you can enter it. For example, /home/banach/name/mathica/notebooks could be a possible directory that contains a Mathematica Notebook file that you wish to retrieve.

After the items in the Open Connection window have been entered, click on Ok. Your banach directory from the Sun Workstation will appear in the Fetch: math.utep.edu window. You are now able to open the directory in which you wish to retrieve a Mathematica Notebook file to use on the Macintosh system by double clicking on it. Now click on the Notebook file you wish to retrieve. Make sure that Text is marked in the bottom right hand corner of this screen. Next, click on the get file button to tell the computer to retrieve this file. To store it on the Macintosh Desktop, make sure Desktop appears at the top of the following window:

Save test file as:


Enter the name under which you wish to store the file on the Macintosh system. Note that you must double check the extention of the file. For example, all mathematica files to be used on the Macintosh normally have a .nb or .m extension. After clicking Save, your banach Mathematica Notebook file is now saved on the Macintosh Desktop and is ready to be used. To exit Fetch, go to the top on the main screen on the Macintosh, go to File and select the Quit option.
