What's in AppleShare IP Remote Help:
AppleShare IP Remote Help provides onscreen instructions for administering
your AppleShare IP 6.2 servers using the AppleShare IP Remote
Admin software. You can administer your servers from any computer
connected to the Internet via an industry-standard Web browser.
To use AppleShare IP Remote Admin, the Web & File Server must
be running, Web service must be turned on, remote administration
via a Web browser must be turned on, and the Web plug-ins must
be enabled. For instructions on how to log on to Remote Admin
and for information about security when a server is administered
through Remote Admin, see Logging on to AppleShare IP Remote Admin.
IMPORTANT: Before using AppleShare IP Remote Help, you need to complete
the setup, installation, and first-time use instructions in the
"Getting Started" manual or "Upgrading" document that came with
your software.
