Support for WebDav

[binone]

Hi Folks,

 

Hopefully a quick question. Does this firmware version support WebDAV?

 

Thanks,

[Joao Cardoso]

No, not yet, but that is on my plans, although not in the near future.

Many thanks for the quick response.

 

As an IPAD user, it is well nigh impossible to find a common enough file store that most apps will support. So, if one is looking for a local (non cloud) wireless filestore, webdav seems to be the only real choice.

 

Regards,

[Joao Cardoso]

Yes, it seems the iPad took a totalitary approach... shame!

I was thinking in lighthttpd with its webdav module, do you know if it works for the ipad? Or something else is needed?
'ownCloud' was also a possibility, but it needs php5

Yes, agree - it is a shame that the iPad has such limited "official" mechanisms for saving data.

 

I do not know if lighttpd works - I saw a post that implied that it had some problem on DNS-323, but nothing about iPad.

 

I was not aware of ownCloud. That looks interesting. I will set that up just to check out how compatible the iPad apps are with its webDAV implementation.

 

Thank you for pointing me to ownCloud and for taking the time to reply.

 

Regards,

Just to let you know, I have compiled lighttpd with webdav support  for Alt-F and tested it on my syster's iMac and iPad (with webnav)) and all went fine.

So you all mac users, can expect an Alt-F lighttpd package soon (soon does not necessarily mean days ;-)

Hello João, 

Digging up an old thread...

What are the steps to access files with webdav?

I enabled webdav from lighttpd menu, i'm connecting ok, it asks for a username and password, but no files show up..

Please help

Thanks!

Hello, 

Still not getting files thru webdav...

I checked the webdav lighttpd config.. it states that the webdav alias is /webdav

I tried with http://external_ip/webdav/Files (Files is the share name), upon connection it's asking for a username and password, the login is successful, but no files are shown...
Any help?

Ok, after some digging around, it seems that i needed to make symlinks for the folders that i wanted to access over webdav.

Everything is working as expected.. even mkv streaming works over internet...
