<h2>3.5. WebDAV</h2>
<p>WebDAV support enables Virtuoso to act as the Web Content Store for all of your eBusiness
data, this includes Text, Graphics and Multimedia files. WebDAV support also enables Virtuoso to
play the familiar roles of a FILE & WEB SERVER, hosting entire Web sites within a single
database file, or across multiple database files. Virtuoso's WebDAV provides file system like
access to its non SQL data repository.
</p>
<p>Files contained in the DAV repository are stored in a database table. Free text
indexing and replication mechanisms may be applied to the DAV repository as well as the
regular database. Standards based WebDAV methods are used to access resources stored in
the repository based on Virtuoso's full-featured SQL-92 database engine with performance
that matches or exceeds that of current major players in the DB market. Typical WebDAV
clients that can access the repository for content management include Network Places on
Windows through Explorer, Nautilus on Gnome (Linux and Solaris), and the Mac OS X desktop.
Many web development tools also support WebDAV directly.
</p>
<p>See the <a href="htmlconductorbar.html#webdavadmin">WebDAV Administration</a> section, to setup
the WebDAV in the Visual Server Administration Interface.

<h3>3.5.1. Web Folders</h3>
<p>Microsoft Windows has a notion of a Web Folder. This is how Windows connects to a
WebDAV store which can then be traversed like any other file system. Files can be copied
and moved to and from the DAV using normal drag-and-drop methods.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>To create a Web Folder open the <strong>Windows Explorer</strong>
and navigate to <strong>My Network Places</strong>.
</p>
<table class="figure" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img alt="My Network Places" src="../images/ui/qs-dav001.png" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Figure: 3.5.1.1. My Network Places</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>
<p>You will find an icon or option to <strong>Add Network Place</strong> which
when double-clicked will lead you to the wizard.
</p>
<table class="figure" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img alt="Web Folder Wizard" src="../images/ui/qs-dav002.png" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Figure: 3.5.1.1. Web Folder Wizard</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>
<p>The first screen encourages you to type the location of the network place, for
connecting to a Virtuoso DAV you will need to know the server location and port number.
If you installed Virtuoso on to your local machine taking default options then you
would probably be typing:
</p>
<div>
<pre class="programlisting">http://localhost:8889/DAV/</pre>
</div>
<table class="figure" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img alt="WebDAV location" src="../images/ui/qs-dav003.png" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Figure: 3.5.1.1. WebDAV location</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>
<p>You will then be asked for authentication information which will require a username
and a password. If defaults are taken then this would simply be dav and dav for both.
</p>
<table class="figure" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img alt="WebDAV authentication" src="../images/ui/qs-dav004.png" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Figure: 3.5.1.1. WebDAV authentication</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>
<p>To complete the creation of a Web Folder you be asked to supply a name for
the network place.
</p>
<table class="figure" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img alt="Name of your WebDAV Web Folder" src="../images/ui/qs-dav005.png" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Figure: 3.5.1.1. Name of your WebDAV Web Folder</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>
<p>Once provided Explorer will automatically open a new Window over looking
the new location.
</p>
<table class="figure" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img alt="Files contained in your DAV" src="../images/ui/qs-dav006.png" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Figure: 3.5.1.1. Files contained in your DAV</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can find your new Web Folder again from My Network Places where
the link will be saved.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
