Access with WebDAV

WebDAV

You can access your Storage Box by using WebDAV; this will give you an encryped connection.

By default, WebDAV for Storage Boxes is deactivated. After you activate WebDAV, it can take a few minutes before you can access your Storage Box via WebDAV.

Unfortunately, the WebDAV protocol does not support the output of the available memory and it may produce false values. Please use sftp instead.

Please use your assigned hostname .your-storagebox.de, username, and password. If you are using a sub-account, please make sure to use the sub-account username and link for the connection.

With Windows servers, it may be necessary to install the Desktop View or Desktop Experience feature.

Instructions

Linux

To create a link to the WebDAV directory, use the following command:

mount -t davfs https://<username>.your-storagebox.de /MOUNTPOINT

By adding the following line to /etc/fstab, your system will automatically mount the file system at boot. (It is a single line!):

https://<username>.your-storagebox.de /MOUNTPOINT davfs rw,uid=<system_user>,gid=<system_group>,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0

So you can automatically mount the WebDAV directory, enter the following line in the file /etc/davfs2/secrets:

https://<username>.your-storagebox.de <username> <password>

In Debian-based distributions, the command davfs is provided via a package of the same name:

apt-get install davfs2

If you see the following error message during a copying process from Windows to a WebDAV directory, it is likely caused by a file that is larger than 50 MB:

The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved.

This is blocked by a security setting in Windows. The following link demonstrates how you can remove this limit: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/900900
