Enable and configure web-disk

 

Web-disk is a way to access the user's directory using the webDAV protocol. This protocol allows you to add to the user's computer directory from a remote server as a separate disk. The user can use Web-disk as an alternative to connecting to the server via FTP. Files available to multiple users can be stored on a web disk and edited together.

Enable web-disk 

The apache mod_dav module is used. Apache ITK must be enabled.

To allow your users to use web-disk: 

  1. Go to Settings → Web-server settings.
  2. Enable the option Enable Web-disk.

To configure web-disk for the user:

  3. Click Create.

How the link is generated:

  1. The IP address where one of the user's SSL-enabled WWW domains is running will be selected. The link is formed as "https:///webdav/<username>".
  2. If the user does not have WWW domains with SSL enabled, the link is formed as "http:///webdav/<username>".
  3. If the User has no WWW-domains, any IP-address of the server is selected. The link is formed as: "http:///webdav/<username>".

The link is displayed on the User Dashboard in ispmanager.

Note!
To enable the web-disk on Windows, you first need to allow authentication using auth_digest method.
