WebDAV
WebDAV is a feature that allows you to mount your home account, being able to upload and access your files, as if it were a local hard drive.
If you are already familiarized with WebDAV, just point your favorite WebDAV client to
http://in.solit.us/dav and you're done! Or you can follow one of the instructions for your operating system below.
The files uploaded with WebDAV will not be made public automatically. If you wish to do so, change it under WebDAV Preferences in
My Preferences.
Please take into account that WebDAV is still under testing, so if it breaks, don't sue us! Please help us with your
feedback.
MacOS X
On Finder, click
Go and
Connect to Server, or press Apple+K.
On the Connect screen, type
http://in.solit.us/dav as shown below and click
Connect
When prompted for your user and password, use the same user/password you use when logging through the web interface.
A new finder window will appear with your home account. When you are finished, just click on the eject button near to the DAV drive or drag the icon in your Desktop to the Trash.
Windows
My Network Places
Using Windows XP or 2003 (and probably Vista), you should be able to mount the WebDAV drive without using any additional software, using the Add Network Place icon on My Network Places.
On the next window, select Choose another network location, and click Next.
Type
http://in.solit.us/dav in the Internet or Network address textbox. Click next and you will be prompted for your username/password.
This method, however it works, does not mount the DAV account as a network drive. Instead, it places an icon under My Network Places. We recommend the method below for a better experience.
If you happen to use a previous version of Windows, or if the built in DAV support in Windows does not work well for you, Novell has a free nice application that allows you, among other protocols, to mount a WebDAV drive. You can download it here:
Novell NetDrive
NetDrive
Using NetDrive, we add a
New Site, using whatever name we want, and
http://in.solit.us/dav as the URL. Clicking
Finish will create the new connection. Then, you must
uncheck Anonymous/Public Logon and enter the user/password you use when logging through the web interface. You can activate the connect at login/startup or save password options if you desire to, and can also choose the letter of the unit where the account will be mounted.
The account will then be mounted as the desired letter drive, and you will be able to use it as if it were a local hard drive.
If you wish to disconnect, just go to My Computer, right click on the NetDrive unit, and choose Disconnect.
Linux
GNOME
Using GNOME, you can connect to WebDAV with Nautilus, Gnome's File Explorer. It will map your DAV account as a network drive. To do so, click on Places in your menu bar, and then choose Connect to Server, as shown below:
In the Connect to Server window that appeared, choose WebDAV (HTTP) from the service type list of options. You have to specify /dav as the Folder, leave Port blank, and use your in.solit.us username. You can use any name for connection.
You will then be prompted for your password, and after authentication, the drive will appear on your Desktop.
KDE
The following screenshots were kindly provided by user galinux. Thanks!
Open the Network Folder Wizard, or execute knetattach from a console. The following dialog will appear:
Choose WebFolder (webdav), and press Next.
Enter the information shown in the following screenshot, replacing "myusername" with your in.solit.us username.
Click on Save and Connect, and you will be prompted for your password.
You're done!
If you prefer to access the account using a shell, you may want to take a look at the
WebDAV Linux File System (davfs2) project, or the
cadaver command line client.
