34SP.com now support WebDAV on all PSA8+ Unix based servers.
To setup a WebDAV enabled folder you need to first let our systems create you an enabled folder, to do this you need to go to https://scripts.34sp.com/webdav/
This setup system will request from you your ftp details and domain so that it can upload the necessary changes to your account, it will also request the folder that you wish to make WebDav enabled and a USER/PASS that will be used for the WebDAV publishing.
The setup that we use will allow viewing of contents/access to uploaded files within the enabled folder without any password request - but should you wish to add files or similar you will need to authenticate with the server using the details that you supply.
You can have as many WebDAV folders as you wish on the webspace all which can have its own unique authenticated user, please note we only support WebDAV at the root level, we do not support it as a nested folder at this time.
Once you have setup WebDav you can use it in many applications, once of the most popular is Apples Ical application.
You can also connect to your WebDAV folder directly from your own computer.
On Windows XP/2000 you should find that one of these methods works (it can vary depending on installed applications/service packs etc):
Method 1: (generally works fine)
From the 'My Network Places' you can click the 'Add a Network Place' and a wizard should open, click Next and then select the 'Choose another network location' and click Next again
On this screen you enter the Full url to the folder, but also to stop windows trying to use NTLM authenticaion you need to supply the port number so an example url would be http://example.34sp.com:80/foldername , once you have entered this information click Next and you will be prompted for the username and password
You can then choose to open the place on completion, this will now be available from the My Network Places screen and you can open it and treat it just like any other folder.
Method 2: (not always workable)
Right click on the 'My Computer' icon and select Map Network drive, now choose a drive letter and enter the folder as you have before - you cannot however add the ':80' in here so you will probably find that you get an NTLM prompt window up for authentication and will not be able to authenticate.
Alternativly there are some 'webdav clients' available if you search around that can do the mapping of this folder to a network drive should you wish to use this in that way, At this time we are not aware of any freeclients - please do let us know if you come across any.
If you are using OSX then mapping the folder is very easy. Simply open up 'Finder' then from the main window tool bar select the 'Go->Connect to Server (apple+k)' simply type the folder url in the Server Address area (eg http://example.34sp.com/folder) click the '+' to add it to favourites and then double click it, at which point you will then be prompted for the user and password.
You will then find this mounted in Finder and you can use it as per any normal attached drive.
