How can you access the FME Server Web Interface?

• A. Type in http://localhost as a URL in a browser window on the machine where FME Server is installed
• B. Type in your hostname/fmeflow as the URL in a browser window (the hostname was specified during the installation)
• C. Through the Windows Start menu under FME Flow
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Accessing the FME Server Web Interface is done through a web browser, and you have multiple convenient ways to reach it. On the server machine itself, typing http://localhost connects to the web interface because the server is listening on the local loopback address. From another machine on the network, you can reach the same interface by using the server’s hostname that you specified during installation, such as http://<hostname>/fmeflow. The Windows Start menu often includes a launcher for FME Flow that opens the browser to the server’s web interface URL, making access quick and automatic. All of these approaches point to the same web interface; the difference is whether you’re connecting locally, via a network name, or via a launcher.
