What is WebDAV?

WebDAV is an Internet Engineering Task Force working group. The abbreviation stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning. The term is also used to refer to the protocol (more accurately, the extension to the HTTP protocol) which the group defined.

The WebDAV protocol's aim is to make the World Wide Web a readable and writable medium. It provides functionality to create, change and move documents on a remote server. This is useful for general web-based file storage, that can be accessed from anywhere. Most modern operating systems provide built-in support for WebDAV, making it as easy to use files on a WebDAV server as if they were stored in a local directory. More info - http://www.webdav.org.

Accessing Your Remote Storage

From Windows XP via a Network Place

You can access your remote storage by creating a network place. Open My Network Places and choose to Add a Network Place. The URL of your remote storage is "http://webdav.bigwindow.net/Account/." where you substitute your account name for "Account".

From Windows XP via a Mapped Drive Letter

You can alternatively gain access by mapping a drive to the remote storage. In this case, right click My Network Places and choose Map Network Drive... Choose the drive letter you would like and enter your remote storage URL as "http://webdav.bigwindow.net/Account" where you substitute your account name for "Account". Choose whether to Reconnect at logon.

Windows XP File Backup or Sync

When you map a drive letter to your storage (see above), you may also use a free tool from Microsoft named SyncToy. It will allow you to easily keep your network share in sync with a folder on your computer or use your remote storage to create a backup.

From Mac OS X

From the Go menu, choose Connect to Server... Enter the server address as "http://webdav.bigwindow.net/Account" where you substitute your account name for "Account". Enter your account credentials to mount the remote storage share.
