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>

Microsoft

Windows 8

See Instructions for Windows 7

Windows 7

Simply open up a Windows Explorer window and type the following into the location address bar:

\\<your.external.server.name>@SSL@11443\<your.internal.server.name>\

where

  • <your.external.server.name> is the same name as you use to access VPN, usually remote.<your.domain.name>
  • <your.internal.server.name> is the Windows name for your server, usually SERVER or something similar.

You will be prompted for your user name and password unless they have been saved previously. Once the location is opened, you can navigate to any location on the server and save it as a favourite.

Windows XP

  1. Go to My Network Places and chose Add a network place from the menu on the left.
  2. In the window that comes up there is usually only one option listed (Choose another network location). Select it and then click Next.
  3. In the address box that comes up, type https://<your.external.server.name>:11443/ and click Next.
    NOTE: you may get a certificate error at this point if you do not have our master certificate installed. Just acknolwelge the warning and continue.
  4. Enter your server user name and password when prompted.
  5. Give the location a name, like Office Server, and click Finish.
