Web Publishing: Using the Chooser

Apple Macintosh users can connect to the web server using the Chooser. This will make your web space appear as a disk or folder on your personal computer, allowing you to drag and drop files and folders to and from the web server, just as you do for other disks on your system. For information on how you can use Chooser to connect to other Hamilton servers, see Using Chooser to Connect to Hamilton Servers.
