Accessing WebDAV Server
Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, or WebDAV, is a set of extensions to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote World Wide Web servers.
WebDAV makes it easier to access your files in digitalbucket.net right from your desktop.
Map a Secure WebFolder to your digitalbucket.net account using WebDAV. No software installation, since WebDAV is built into most operating systems. Using this feature, you can Open, Edit and Save remote files directly from your applications. Also Copy/Paste or Drag-n-Drop files and folders between your local computer and your digitalbucket.net account.
