How to access my files via WebDAV

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>

Three alternative solutions...

File Explorer > Location Address bar

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

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

where

• <your.external.server.name> is the same name as you use to access VPN, usually remote.<your.domain.name>
• <foldername> name of shared folder (at root location) on your server, it may be staff, office, hr, field, regulatory, etc... as customised in your office

Once the location is opened, you can navigate to any location on the server and save it as a favourite.

For example:

\\remote.example.com@SSL@11443\allstaff

You will be prompted for your username and password unless they have been saved previously.
