How to Make a WebDAV Connection (Macintosh)

How to Upload your Web Files onto the ASE Server using a Macintosh System

Please note: There is a known bug in OS X 10.5.6+ that prevents the Finder from properly using the WebDAV protocol.  If you are running OS X 10.5.6+, you will need to make use of a third party file transfer application such as Dreamweaver or Transmit.

Here are the instructions to connect to our WebDAV server via a Mac (requires Tiger or greater – 10.4):

  1. Click on your desktop.
     
  2. Select “Connect to Server…” from the “Go” menu.
     
  3. Enter the path to your WebDAV share (i.e. https://webdav.ase.tufts.edu/ase/studentorganizations/example).
     
  4. When you are challenged for a domain/username/password enter:
    a. "TUFTS" in the domain field.
    b. "tufts\<username>" in the name field.
    c. Your domain password in the password field.
     
  5. Once you connect, you will be able to drag and drop items in and out of your site like it was a normal folder on your Mac.

I followed the steps, but I'm having problems.
