After getting LDAP, Apache & WebDAV working together in perfect harmony, I needed to get clients accessing the “shares” I was setting up. Fortunately Linux & OSX make this extremely easy. Windows… is another story, a story which can only be told… tomorrow.
To connect to a WebDAV share under OSX:
- Finder
- Go
- Connect to Server
- Enter your URL — The same as you’d use in a browser (IE: http://fileserver.company.com/webdav/ )
- Connect
- Enter your Username & Password (provided it is required — just like the web browser)
- Connect — That’s it!
To connect to a WebDAV share under Linux (Ubuntu 10.04):
- Places
- Connect to Server
- Service type: WebDAV
- Fill in Port and Folder
- Connect — That’s it!
