WebDAV is a standard collaborative editing and file management tool. Teaming supports the use of WebDAV tools, and enables you to manage your WebDAV files from within Teaming.
Teaming enables WebDAV tools only in the following environments:
Windows: When using Internet Explorer Version 7.0 or later as your Web browser, and you are using Microsoft* Windows* XP as your operating system.
Linux: When using SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 via Nautilus.
Accessing a file folder through WebDAV is not exactly the same as accessing files in a standard disk folder. This is because Teaming entries are more rich than typical files in a folder. For example, files in Teaming can contain multiple versions and comment threads; likewise, each Teaming entry can contain multiple files, or no files at all.
When you use WebDAV files from within Teaming, you might need to specify your Teaming username and password several times. WebDAV requires several passwords for applications (your browser and Teaming), and it might require a third login when accessing an individual file.
While running Novell Access Manager on your server, you might be required to sign in multiple times as you access WebDAV files from within Teaming. Multiple sign-ins using WebDAV are triggered by the client, not by server software.
You can access WebDAV tools from within a Teaming folder, or from an individual entry.
Navigate to the File folder where you want to use WebDAV.
In the Footer toolbar, click .
Teaming invokes a WebDAV window. If the window is not operable, consult with the folder owner or administrator to ensure that the configuration supports WebDAV (folder filenames must be unique).
Teaming enables you to use WebDAV to access entry attachments.
Navigate to and select the entry where you want to access the attachment from Teaming using WebDAV.
In the section of the entry, click .
Specify your Teaming login credentials.
Your WebDAV client, such as Windows Explorer, is launched.
In the Windows Explorer window, navigate to and select the file that you want to retrieve from Teaming.
Perform the desired action on the file. For example, you can:
View the file.
Drag the file and copy it onto the desktop.
Delete the file.
This deletes the attachment file only. It does not delete the entry itself.
NOTE:If you map a Teaming folder to a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer or Nautilus, then deleting a file from the Teaming folder via the WebDAV client deletes the entire entry, including all files contained in the entry.
