What is WebDAV?
WebDAV provides functionality to create, change and move documents on a remote server (typically a web server or "web share"). WebDAV is supported by all major Operating Systems and Desktop Environments including MacOS X, Linux (KDE and GNOME) and Windows.
For more information visit:
Find out your workspace WebDAV URL
In the Workspace portlet click the button Access from Desktop located one the top, there you will see the direct WebDAV URL.
Login Credentials
You can login using the Screen Name (username) you chose to access the portal. (Likely your email without @mydomain.com). If you don't know what your screen name is you can find it on the portal by clicking your name on the top-right of the portal dock bar. It will load your portal profile page and there it should be one of the first entries in the Profile tab that comes up.
Note: Any time you change your password, you may need to re-login to the server via the portal. Otherwise, when you login, you may see in your stacktrace something like the following: "User must first login through the portal".
Accessing a WebDAV URL
Copy the WebDAV URL and use it to configure the file (or WebDAV) browser that you prefer. You will be asked to authenticate with your username and password.
In the following you can find specific instructions on how to configure access to the workspace by using WebDAV once you have the URL for the most common Operating Systems:
Windows Vista or Windows 7+
1. Right click on the Network icon and select Map Network Drive
2. Select a drive and enter the WebDAV URL and click Finish. Enter credentials when prompted.
