[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1331769, member: 38864"] Windows Explorer is essentially Internet Explorer. It is the web browser with local machine browsing baked in. Finder is not a web browser at all. I don't think anyone here would disagree that Finder is one of the biggest weaknesses in OS X, despite the improvements it has in Lion. You could try one of the Finder replacements out there to see if it fits the bill. Path Finder is the most highly regarded one out there, though whether or not it will meet your needs, I cannot say. [url=http://cocoatech.com/]Path Finder 5 by Cocoatech[/url] I could probably provide more specific help if I better understood exactly what you are doing and how. I assume that before, you were using Windows Explorer as a web browser, and transferring photos directly from the browser to a remote server? It seems to me you could mount the remote server on your Mac and save pictures directly to that via Safari.
