Mapping WebDAV Folders with NetDrive
NetDrive is a drive mapping utility that allows mounting remote WebDAV or FTP servers as local hard drives. It is distributed as a freeware for home use, and provides a simple way to have your Web folders automatically mapped on Windows startup.
To map a new WebDAV folder with NetDrive, follow these steps:
- Click New Site.
- On the Site Properties pane to the right, specify Site name, Site IP or URL, Port and Server Type.
- Click the arrow near the Drive field to open the shortcut menu, and then select a drive letter that will be made associated with the server.
- Check Connect as anonymous if your WebDAV server allows anonymous access, or enter account login and password in the respective fields.
- Check Automatic login when system starts if you want to enable automatic mapping of the drive on Windows startup.
- Check Automatic login when NetDrive starts if you want to enable automatic mapping of the drive when the program starts.
- If you require secure connection with SSL, server encoding different than UTF-8, or if you are behind a proxy server, click Advanced in the main window, and then fill the respective fields.
Though NetDrive provides a very convenient way to map a remote WebDAV folder, it's not a must. Windows Vista/XP operating systems have built-in clients for interaction with WebDAV.
