What is the "Sites" Folder, and Where Did it Come From?

Thanks for the response as well as the link. At least I now know that it's an official Apple folder and not created by some other application that I have installed. Not sure what, if anything, I'll do with it, but at least I know it's not something malicious.

Bob, actually had to look up "Apache web server" to see what it was, and no, not to my knowledge. And, in the previous response, under Sites it says that "Web Sharing must be enabled." I can't find anywhere under Monterey 12.7.2 System Preferences where one would turn on Web Sharing.

Bob, I do in fact "tinker" with every Mac I've ever had (first one was purchased in 1984, delivered early 1985). To me, what a Mac does is of less interest than how it does what it does. My better half refers to this as the "tinkering until it's broken" syndrome.

But your question started me thinking. A couple of weeks ago I was looking around for a replacement personal finance software to the one I've been using. Even though I ended up staying with the one I had, I did try out a couple of different ones. One used their own cloud to sync the data between computers, the other used iCloud. It may be possible that one of these, somehow or another, relied on Apache to sync the data. Don't know.

The good news is that the folder is an official Apple folder. I'll just let it be.
