The short answer is that secure Fetch isn't ready yet -- there's 
problems with the installer.

The Help Desk got complaints about this too.  Probably because the 
latest i/s newsletter promotes <http://mit.edu/is/help/ftp>, and that 
page links to the documentation for secure Fetch: 
<http://web.mit.edu/is/pubs/ns-54/test/>

is-home: I made some changes to /is/help/ftp/.  I commented out the 
link to the Fetch documentation.  And I added a link to an interim 
secure file transfer solution for Macs.

Marty: sorry for the error.  Thanks for letting us know.

Chris
