webdav and vista

Sunday 05 August 2007 3:09:36 pm

Hi,

I just setup a webdav site. It didn't work. Then I found out that none of my ez webdav sites are working - shocking!

Well, the reason is: You can't open a webdav site with CTRL+O like it was before at Windows XP and Explorer.

You need to open:
Start -> Computer -> Extras -> add network resource
Choose "web folder" (or is there "webdav" in english?)
Enter the url WITHOUT # at the end!
Like http://webdav.mysite.com/

Save it - works again.

Hast la vista ...

Best wishes,
Georg.

Best wishes,
Georg.

Hi Georg, are you using Windows Vista Ultimate? I don't have Ultimate and cannot locate this "Extras" menu or option.

What works for me is to:

1) Open Network on the Desktop
2) Select the Tools menu, then Map Network Drive
3) Click "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures"
4) Select "Choose another network location"
5) Enter the WebDAV address (usually "http://webdav.yourserver.com")
5a) If prompted with the error "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another.", try downloading the Windows Vista WebDAV patch, as discovered on this blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/bill/archive/2007/05/29/webdav-fix-for-vista.aspx
6) Enter your username and password when prompted.
