Once you set it up, it will then appear as a mapped network drive in Windows.
==Usage==
 
ISoft uses WebDAV for storing images for our hosted customers.  This means hosted customers won't need the image uploader script.
Here is how you set it up:

<source lang="dos">
<source lang="dos">
net use w: "http://<webdav share URL>" /USER:<web dav user> <password> /PERSISTENT:yes
net use <whatever drive letter you want that isn't being used already>: "http://webdav.isoftdata.com/<company productcode>" /USER:<WebDAV user> <WebDAV password> /PERSISTENT:yes
</source>
</source>
The WebDAV username and password can be found in ISoft's customer case.
See [[Internal:Setting up a Webdav Directory]] for the server-side configuration.

Read the Wikipedia article!

Usage

ISoft uses WebDAV for storing images for our hosted customers. This means hosted customers won't need the image uploader script.

Run this from the command line in Windows:

net use <whatever drive letter you want that isn't being used already>: "http://webdav.isoftdata.com/<company productcode>" /USER:<WebDAV user> <WebDAV password> /PERSISTENT:yes

The WebDAV username and password can be found in ISoft's customer case.

See Internal:Setting up a Webdav Directory for the server-side configuration.

Troubleshooting

If you can't copy files into the directory (especially if you receive "permission denied" errors), check on the server to see that the directory permissions and configured correctly. See Internal:Setting up a Webdav Directory#Troubleshooting for more details.
