Webdav(Web Distributed Authoring and even Versioning) is a protocol that is used for easily accessing your files on the web from your desktop. It allows you to set up a folder on your computer that connects directly to your hosting account, enables collaboration between authors, and manages and edit files on the web using compatible applications as if they were on your local computer.<\/p>\n
Web Disk is cPanel & WHM\u2019s implementation of the WebDAV protocol. cPanel automatically creates a Web Disk balance for users to manage files in their home directory remotely. It provides tools for configuring Web Disk accounts and users can create additional accounts as needed to share directories within their home folder. WebDAV has similar capabilities to other network disk and remote file management systems, such as SMB and FTP. However, unlike these technologies, WebDAV is based on an extension of the web\u2019s native HTTP and HTTPS protocols.<\/p>\n
WebDAV\u2019s \u201cversioning\u201d abilities are designed for simple collaborative editing, but if you are looking for a modern code version control system, cPanel\u2019s Git\u2122 integration is a better option.WebDAV is also the basic foundation of the CalDAV calendar using CardDAV contact features. CalDAV enables a client to access calendar and scheduling information on a remote server, while CardDAV is an address book protocol that allows users to access and share contact data on a remote server. Microsoft\u00ae Windows\u00ae and macOS\u00ae support WebDAV natively, and there are many compatible apps available for Android\u2122 and iOS\u00ae.<\/p>\n
If you want to access storage from Microsoft Windows, you must first enable digestion authentication.<\/p>\n
