If you're having trouble uploading with Fugu or Fetch on your Mac:

1. Open Terminal (in Applications>Utilities)
2. Type: ssh username@cgi.cs.kent.edu
3. Set up your public_html directory using Paul's instructions:  
      Type: chmod  o+x  $HOME
      Type: mkdir  public_html
      Type: chmod  o+x  public_html

4. click File>New Shell
5. Type: sftp -1 username@cgi.cs.kent.edu
6. Type: cd public_html  (To change to this directory. 
   You can check where you are in by typing    pwd    at any time)
7. Copy the file you want to upload  (automatically to the clipboard)
8. Type: put (then type a space)
9. Edit>Paste, then hit enter

10. go back to the Terminal window that you used for ssh
11. Type: chmod a+r ~username/public_html/thefileyoujustuploaded 
    (to make it readable)

12. Often you also need to set up a folder under public_html to place
    your files.  For example, you may have an "images" folder under which
    you place all your image files.  Then you need to create that folder
    (TYPE: cd ~/public_html; mkdir images; chmod a+rx images) then
    upload into that folder, then make them readable (step 11).

If it doesn't work, make sure your site is html strict and you have added the correct first line 
statement we were told about. If Terminal acts strangely when you enter your password, 
File>New Shell, 
and start again. After you are successful once, skip step 3 every time you upload from now 
on.
