Schedule and automate WebDAV file transfers

Automation Workshop includes the Connect to WebDAV Action that establishes a connection between a local machine and a remote WebDAV server. File transfers can be automated using built-in Triggers such as the Task Scheduler or WebDAV Watcher Trigger.

The WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) connection enables features—to monitor for file or folder changes or to perform Cloud and FTP Actions that upload, download, synchronize, list, move, rename, delete, or perform other operations with files and directories.

Features & highlights

Supports both unencrypted (Plain) and encrypted (SSL · TLS) WebDAV connections.
Supports authenticating with both user credentials and client certificates.
Validates server based on any thumbprint, CA trusted certificates, or specific (SHA-1 and SHA-256) certificate fingerprints.
Custom connection options allow specifying specific parameters when connecting to a WebDAV server.
