Connect to a WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) server to monitor for file changes or perform a variety of operations with files and folders.

Connection	Details
Server	WebDAV server name or IP address.
Port	WebDAV server port to connect to. By default, an encrypted connection uses port 443, while an unencrypted connection uses port 80.
Connection	Connect to WebDAV supports both non-encrypted and encrypted connections. Plain · Unencrypted WebDAV connection. SSL · TLS · Encrypted WebDAV connection.
Authentication	Depending on server settings, use user credentials or user credentials with a client certificate. User credentials · Provide the WebDAV connection username and password. Credentials with a client certificate · If required, provide the client certificate and passphrase.
Username	Specify the username.
Password	Specify the password.
Client certificate path	For client certificate authentication, provide a client certificate file. Supported formats include Personal Information Exchange (.pfx or .p12) and Base64 encoded X.509 (.pem or .key). A private key and certificate can be provided in two separate files. The files must have the same name with different extensions. Automation Workshop looks for .crt or .cer files if the provided file contains only a private key section. For example: webdavs-client.key (provided as input) webdavs-client.crt (automatically loaded)
Certificate passphrase	For client certificate authentication, provide the client certificate passphrase.
Mask password	To maximize security, mask the password characters. While enabled, it is not possible to use the Variable Wizard.
Browse	Use Browse to select a particular file or folder on local disk, network share on LAN (local area network), etc.
Variable Wizard	Use dynamic data input—substitute a parameter from a file, web, connected Trigger, other Actions, date and time presets, etc.

Interconnect

• Connect to WebDAV integration and auditing—Variables (dynamic data) and Events (recorded activity). Access the name (address) of the WebDAV server and its fingerprint. Detailed logs are maintained for connections to the WebDAV server, including any connection problems encountered.

Notes

• The WebDAV protocol may reveal an incorrect access credentials error only after actual remote file Actions are used, for example, upload file, download file, etc.
• The WebDAV default directory can be set in the Server field: dav.example.com/directory
• To upload or download files from the default directory, use current path notation: ./
