Using WebDAV at ESF

ESF now uses WebDAV to connect to the ESF web servers www.esf.edu and cww.esf.edu. FTP access is no longer available or supported on campus servers.

Please note that campus.esf.edu has been removed from service.

What will you need to do?

It depends. WebDAV supported by most modern operating system versions and many web authoring applications. If you don't see your operating system or authoring application in the list to the right, contact us at web@esf.edu and we'll try to help you get connected

New connection/configuration info

By whatever method you use (see menu above), you must specify the server you access in the following form:

https://wwwpublish.esf.edu or
https://cwwpublish.esf.edu

Note the use of "https://" instead of http:// and the addition of "publish" to each server's address (bold NOT needed)

What is WebDAV?

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a computer-to-computer communications protocol that allows users to access and edit files on a remote web server without first needing to download them to their local computer. In other words, WebDAV allows your computer to access a remote Web server as though it were actually part of your local computer or network. WebDAV will also let you operate just as you did with FTP to keep and edit files on your own computer. For a detailed, technical look at WebDAV, visit www.webdav.org.
