What is WebDAV & Why should I be excited
about it?
WebDAV is a protocol that allows convenient connectivity between a remote
server and local workstation. WebDAV can be used with WebCT
4.1 to provide true "Drag and Drop" file transfer capabilities.
Drag and Drop File Transfer
This helpful feature of WebCT 4.1 allows course designers to connect
directly to the "My Files" folder in their WebCT course. This
feature provides drag and drop capabilities for designers, which
speeds file transfers and eases course maintenance issues. This can
be accomplished by mapping a network folder (Windows XP, 2000), mapping
a Web Folder (Win 98), or by using a Web DAV application called Goliath
(Mac OS Classic).
Specific Instructions can be found at:
WebCT & Dreamweaver File Transfer now possible
File transfers are now possible within Macromedia Dreamweaver. This
allows course designers to design pages and upload them on the fly directly
to the "My Files" section.
How to find your WebDAV URL Information
For all methods of Web DAV connectivity:
- Log into your WebCT account as a designer.
- On the "MY WebCT" page click on the Web DAV Info link.
- Then copy the Web DAV URL data that is supplied via the "My WebCT"
page.
- It might be helpful to paste the URL into a simple text document for
later reference.
