WebDAV

How can i connect my Webserver with WebDAV?

Updated over a week ago

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an open standard that allows you to access your data on the internet as if it were stored on an online hard drive.

Technically, WebDAV extends the HTTP/1.1 protocol, enabling the transfer of not only single files but also entire directories.


Set Up WebDAV on Windows

Follow these steps to connect your Windows device:

  1. Open File Explorer
    Launch File Explorer on your computer.

  2. Map Network Drive
    Click This PC, then right-click and choose Map network drive.

  3. Enter Domain and Drive
    Under Folder, enter your domain (e.g. https://yourdomain.ch/webdav) and select a drive letter.

  4. Connect
    Click Finish, then enter your FTP username and password.

  5. Access Your Files
    Once connected, you’ll see the new drive under This PC.
    You can now upload and manage your website files easily.

Note:
Make sure that the WebDAV function is enabled under System Configurator → FTP/WebDAV Users.

You can find more information in the System Configurator Manual.


Set Up WebDAV on macOS

  1. Open Finder
    Start Finder on your Mac.

  2. Connect to Server
    From the top menu bar, click Go → Connect to Server.

  3. Enter Domain
    Enter your domain (e.g. https://yourdomain.ch/webdav) and click Connect.

  4. Enter Login Credentials
    Provide your FTP username and password.

  5. Access Your Files
    After connecting, the new drive appears under Locations in Finder.
    You can now upload and manage your files directly on the server.

Note:
Ensure that WebDAV is activated in the System Configurator → FTP/WebDAV Users section.
