Setting up WebDAV servers

You should define both global and site-specific WebDAV server settings before attempting to use the GoLive WebDAV functionality. You use the Available Servers dialog box to define a list of servers (WebDAV or FTP) to be available within GoLive. (See Setting up FTP access.)

Once a server is defined, you can assign it to a particular site by using the site settings. In the Site Settings dialog box, you simply click FTP & WebDAV Servers, then choose the desired server from the Server menu.

To add a WebDAV server to the Available Servers list:

1. Choose Edit > Servers.
2. Click the New button  in the Available Servers dialog box.
3. Do all of the following, using values provided by the WebDAV or network server administrator:
• Type a name for the server in the Nickname text box. This is critical for preventing confusion as you add more servers to the available servers list.
• Type an address in the Server text box. The address must begin with "http://".
• Type a path name in the Directory text box. If your access privileges are limited to your personal folder, you may be able to leave the text box blank.
• Type a user ID in the User Name text box.
• Select the Save option and type a password in the Password text box.

Note: Whether a password is required or not depends on the WebDAV server access privileges assigned by the WebDAV administrator.

4. Click Done. This saves the values you entered for reuse from any site.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to add more WebDAV servers.
6. When you are finished entering WebDAV servers, click OK.

Specifying a WebDAV server for a specific site:

1. With the site open, click the Site Settings button  in the tool bar.
2. In the Site Settings dialog box, click FTP & WebDAV Server, and do one of the following:
• Choose a server from the WebDAV Server menu.
• If a list of servers is not available or if you don't find the desired server in the WebDAV Server menu, choose Edit Server from the WebDAV Server menu and follow steps 2 through 5 in the previous procedure.
3. Click OK.
