Apple

OS-X

  • Open Finder, and go to Go -> Connect to Server.
  • In the Server Address box, type https://<your.external.server.name>:11443/ where <your.external.server.name> is the same name as you use to access VPN, usually remote.<your.domain.name>.
  • Enter your username and password when prompted.
Note: If you click on the the + button, it will save the link for the next time. You can also add it to your login items.

iOS

We recommend using a free App called WebDAV Navigator. You will need to enter the following details:

  • Name: This is for you to recognise it should you have a number of connections.
  • Server URL: This would be https://<your.external.server.name>:11443/, where <your.external.server.name> is the same name as you use to access VPN, usually remote.<your.domain.name>.
  • Username: Your server username.
  • Password: Your server password.

Linux

Most Linux file managers are able to open WebDAV locations. For example, in Nautilus, go to the connect to server option, choose secure WebDAV (HTTPS), and end the following details:

server: <your.external.server.name>
port: 11443
username: <your server username>
password: <your server password>
