WebDAV howto (windows)

Windows XP and Windows Vista come with the ability to connect to WebDAV folders by default. No additional software is required.

From an explorer window (such as My Computer

Tools Menu > Map Network Drive

In this window select what drive letter you wish to assign the remote WebDAV drive, if you would like to autoconnect at login and the location of the DAV directory. By default, if selected, DAV on 3dpixel.net webhosting is in the /dav directory i.e. http://yourdomain.com/dav where yourdomain.com is actually your domain name.

After a few seconds to connect, if the remote path is correct you will be prompted with a user/pass combination. This is the FTP details for the domain in question. If you wish to change this please visit Plesk >Yourdomain.com > setup and the changes are reflected instantly.

There is no option to disable this user/pass prompt, 3dpixel.net does not allow open access to your WebDAV directory due to the security issues therein.

You may wish to secure this further via an SSL certificate if you wish. Please contact our support.

After a successful connection the drive will appear in your explorer window. File access is via simple Drag-and-drop as in Windows itself.
