With a software update, Windows can be used to connect to a DAV share on a TeamForge Lab Management
system.
Microsoft recommends you install this
Software Update for Web Folders before using Web Folders. You may need
this update for Web Folders to work properly.
-
Launch Windows Explorer.
-
On the Tools menu, click Folder Options
and select the View tab. Clear Hide extensions for known
file types.
This will make file names that begin with a dot (".") to
appear properly (for example, your .bashrc file).
-
Launch Internet Explorer.
-
On the File menu, click Open.
-
Enter the URL for your home directory, which will always end in
/home/USERNAME.
For example:
https://$external_host/home/user
-
Select Open as Web Folder.
-
Enter your username and password when prompted.
-
If the connection is successful, you will see a new entry added to My Network
Places. You can re-connect to this folder in the future by going to My
Network Places and selecting this folder.
As of this writing Microsoft does not provide a client that can mount a Web Folder as a
drive letter using an encrypted, authenticated connection, but a third-party tool called
Webdrive can do this.
