Discovering the Public Cloud

WebDAV

WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and it allows users to collaboratively modify and manage files on remote web servers.

WebDAV is not enabled by default on the Private Cloud (the default ports are used by the sites). Contact support if you need it.

davfs2 offers the advantage of mounting WebDAV shared volumes like a local partition locale so that your files are accessible from any application. To mount a partition in /mnt/alwaysdata:

$ sudo mount.davfs https://webdav-[account].alwaysdata.net/ /mnt/alwaysdata

Replace webdav-[account].alwaysdata.net with your WebDAV hostname available from Remote access > WebDAV.
