How to speed up webdav in windows 7 solved for me

[Craig Nelson]

Hi all, 

         I was super frustrated that the alfresco webdav client was so slow on my windows 7 laptop until i found online how to fix it. Now my webdav client work like a champ. 

Steps

1. In Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu, then click Internet Options

2. Select the "Connections tab"

3. Click the LAN settings button.

4. Uncheck the "Automatically detect settings" box

5. Click ok until you are out of the dialog.

The Native WebDAV client works pretty well once you know all its quirks. If it starts running a little slow, restart the WebClient service. For end-users just tell them to reboot :)

Good tips, but  Alfresco doesn't ship with a WebDAV client (though the preview of our upcoming sync client preview uses WebDAV for some things).

For the sake of clarity:

Are you guys referring to the WebDAV server being access from Windows via Microsoft's built-in WebDAV client?

Hi all, 

[Ian Crew]

This seems like a good time to mention that Apple made a big fix in Mac OS X 10.7.4's native WebDAV client, making it work much faster with Alfresco's WebDAV server (as well as most other WebDAV servers, too).  I wrote up a blog post about this change--see http://wanderingalfresco.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/walking-faster/ for details....

Cheers,

Ian

Yep, the Microsoft built-in WebDAV client has become our go to (Our users will switch to the Alfresco sync client once it has a stable release) option.

Previously we had them using Cyberduck but having a seamless solution is preferable.
