Microsoft ® Windows ® My Network Places

The following is how to connect to WebDAV server using the built in My Network Places feature of Microsoft ® Windows ® XP Professional. Other versions of Microsoft ® Windows ® may support My Network Places but the steps involved could be slightly different.

Before you can use My Network Places to connect to WebDAV server, you will need to add a network place first.

  4. On the next screen you need to specify the location of the WebDAV server. If your WebDAV enabled subdomain is 'example.com', then specify the location as http://example.com:81/. Alternatively you can also specify https://example.com:444/ if you want to use secure version of WebDAV server. You will be asked for your username and password, specify the username and password set from Web User & Group menu from SiteManager. Press Next to continue.

  5. On the next screen, you can specify a descriptive name of the network place you've just created. Click Next and then click Finish.
