Connecting with Mac OSX
The ESF web server is a Class 1 compliant WebDAV web server. Unfortunately, previously recommended solutions (including Cyberduck) no longer support our server with their current versions.
At this time, the only known solutions, aside from connecting under virtual machines running Windows (via VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop), are paid applications such as Adobe Dreamweaver and Adobe Contribute. We are searching for a better solution and this page will be updated when such a solution is found. Please contact web@esf.edu for assistance.
Mac OS X 10.4.x to 10.5.2 only
Direct Finder Connection
- From the "Go" menu on the desktop, choose "Connect to Server" (or just key command-k).
- Type in the full web address of the folder you wish to access, beginning with "https://" -- for example, https://wwwpublish.esf.edu/efb/faculty/ , where "/efb/faculty/" would be replaced by your folder string.
- When prompted, enter the domain (esfadmin, students or another), username and password.
- Click OK.
You should now see a window with icons for your folders and files. You should* be able to drag, drop, open, copy and/or delete just as you would with any other files and folders on your computer.
Remember that the files in this window are live web files! If you wish to keep two copies -- a master on your computer and one on the web server -- you must drag-and-drop or otherwise copy the file to and from this window.
