<p>Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is a Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) extension that facilitates collaboration between users in
editing and managing documents and files stored on web servers. Using WebDAV,
you can access your ownCloud instance on every platform using the web
interface. You can also optionally integrate your ownCloud access with your
desktop.</p>

<h2>Accessing Files Using Microsoft Windows<a class="headerlink" href="#accessing-files-using-microsoft-windows" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>When using Microsoft Windows, a seperate WebDAV client is recommended to access
the files from your server.You can choose a suitable WebDav client from the
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.webdav.org/projects/">WebDav Project page</a> .</p>
<p>If you must use the native implementation, you can map ownCloud to a new drive.
Mapping to a drive enables you to browse files stored on an ownCloudserver the
way you would files stored in a mapped network drive.</p>
<p>Using this feature requires network connectivity. If you want to store your
files offline, use the ownCloud Client to sync all files on your ownCloud to
one or more directories of your local hard drive.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Prior to mapping your drive, you must permit the use of Basic
Authentication in the Windows Registry. The procedure is documented in
<a class="reference external" href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841215">KB841215</a> and differs between Windows XP/Server 2003 and Windows Vista/7.
Please follow the Knowledge Base article before proceeding, and follow the
Vista instructions if you run Windows 7.</p>

<p>The computer maps the files of your ownCloud account to the drive letter Z.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Though not recommended, you can also mount the ownCloud server
using HTTP, leaving the connection unencrypted.  If you plan to use HTTP
connections on devices while in public place, we strongly recommend using a VPN
tunnel to provide the necessary security.</p>

</div></blockquote>
<p>An alternative command syntax is:</p>
<blockquote>

<h3>Accessing Files Using Cyberduck<a class="headerlink" href="#accessing-files-using-cyberduck" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Cyberduck is an open source FTP and SFTP, WebDAV, OpenStack Swift, and Amazon S3 browser designed for file transfers.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">This example uses Cyberduck version 4.2.1.</p>
</div>
<p>To use Cyberduck:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Specify a server without any leading protocol information. For example:</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<div><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">example.org</span></tt></div></blockquote>
<p>2. Specify the appropriate port.  The port you choose depends on whether or not
your ownCloud server supports SSL. Cyberduck requires that you select a
different connection type if you plan to use SSL.  For example:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>80 (for WebDAV)
443 (for WebDAV (HTTPS/SSL))</div></blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple" start="3">
<li>Use the &#8216;More Options&#8217; drop-down menu to add the rest of your WebDAV URL into the &#8216;Path&#8217; field. For example:</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<div><p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">remote.php/webdav</span></tt></p>
