Network Browser
Network Browser was an application that shipped with Mac OS 8.5 to allow users to connect to other computers on a network, access FTP servers, and connect to network printers.[1][2] It was intended to replace the Chooser that shipped with previous versions.[1] For Mac OS 9, Apple upgraded Network Browser to support open standards such as Service Location Protocol, making it interoperable with network resources beyond AppleTalk servers.[3] Apple replaced Network Browser with the Connect to Server feature within the "Go" menu of the desktop shell in Mac OS X.[4]
