WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an open standard for making files available on the Internet. Users can access their data as if it were on an online hard drive. In technical terms, WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP/1.1 protocol that removes certain limitations of HTTP. Up to now, online forms have usually only allowed users to upload individual files (HTTP POST). With WebDAV, entire directories can be transferred.

To use WebDAV on your computer, please proceed as follows:

  1. Open the file explorer

  2. Click on ‘This PC’ and ‘Connect network drive’

  3. Under ‘Folder’ you can enter your domain and select a desired drive

  4. Then click on ‘Finish’.

  5. If the domain has been entered correctly, the next step is to enter your FTP user and password

    The connection to the server is now established!

  6. After a successful connection, you should now see the connected drive under ‘This PC’.

  7. Now you can easily upload your web data to the server

Note: Please ensure that you have activated the WebDAV function in the System Configurator under "FTP/WebDAV User".

You can find out how to manage WebDAV users’ in the following manual:
