Connecting to a WebDAV server under Windows

Procédure

Introduction

WebDAV, or Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, is a protocol that extends HTTP for managing files on remote servers. It allows server directories to be mounted on your local system for easy use in a variety of applications.

Connecting via File Explorer

In Windows File Explorer, right-click on "This PC" and select "Add Network Location". Then enter the URL of your WebDAV server, assign a drive letter, and enter your credentials if necessary.

Connecting via the command line

You can also use the command line to connect a WebDAV network drive:

Code
net use w: https://webdav.monsiteinternet.fr/data

Once connected, you can manage the files as if it were a local drive. To disconnect the drive, use :

Code
net use w: /delete
