ftp in mac browser--with no helper

Postby 200mph » Wed 03 Dec, 2003 8:10 am

:lol: Hi there, I've been setting up an Mac FTP server for 10-20 of our clients to use (mac OS9 and XP) As you may know, on a windows client, you can login, copy, paste etc all from the Browser (ie6)
Are there any Mac browsers that can do the same without ftp helpers--ie fetch etc can be configured to open as soon as an ftp site is viewed in a mac browser....I hate it when PC's apparently do it better than Mac's!!!
Can anyone recommend specific products?
I'm useing a Demo of Rumpus ftp server at the moment (very good)

I might be wrong, but in Mac OS 9 or earlier, you will need to have an FTP helper installed such as Fetch.
You don't need that in OS X.

Did you try to acces FTP via Safari in OS X?
You don't get the web-interface of FTP from Safari, but linked to OS X's network connection.

I've just found out that Rumpus does it--it integrates a WWW server with FTP--clever!!!--and works with all browsers
