The following information does not apply to Macintosh computers running the OSX operating system. If you are using a Macintosh computer running the OSX operating system, it is not necessary for you to select the MacBinary (set before selecting a file) check box.

 

If you use a Macintosh computer which is not running the OSX operating system, certain Content Server pages may include a MacBinary (set before selecting a file) check box. The check box appears on pages that allow you to upload files from your computer. Selecting the check box ensures that the files you upload to Content Server are transferred properly. If you attempt to upload a Macintosh file to Content Server without selecting the check box, the file may not upload in its entirety.

MacBinary is a standard format developed to facilitate the transfer of Macintosh documents. It combines the two components of a standard Macintosh file, the resource fork and the data fork, into a single package. A MacBinary file can be stored in a Content Server system running on a non-Macintosh computer, but such a file downloaded from Content Server can be used only on a Macintosh computer.

MacBinary files in Content Server are indicated by the MacBinary icon, MacBinary icon.
