WebSpace Web Folder for Windows (WebDAV)

WebSpace supports a connection protocol known as WebDAV. Using WebDAV with Windows Vista requires mapping WebSpace as a network drive. On versions of Windows prior to Vista, WebDAV-enabled applications include Internet Explorer 5.0 (and higher) and Office 2000 (and higher). Microsoft calls its support of WebDAV "Web Folders."

Mapping WebSpace as a Network Drive (Vista)

  1. On your Vista desktop, select Start, and then select Computer.
  2. Select Map Network Drive.
  3. In the Folder field, enter your WebSpace address in the form "https://webspace.utexas.edu/youruteid". Replace youruteid with your UT EID.
  4. Check the Reconnect at logon checkbox if you want your WebSpace drive to be available every time you log on to your computer.
  5. Click the "different user name" link.
  6. Enter your UT EID and password in the User name and Password fields, and then select OK.
  7. Select Finish.

Creating a Web Folder in Internet Explorer (2000, XP)

  1. Open Internet Explorer.
  2. From the File menu, select Open.
  3. Enter your WebSpace address in the form "https://webspace.utexas.edu/youruteid". Replace youruteid with your UT EID.
  4. Select the Open as a Web Folder option and click OK.
  5. Enter your UT EID and password when prompted for a User name and Password, then click OK.

After you complete this procedure the first time, your WebSpace folder will be included as a Web Folder in "My Network Places" in Windows XP and as a connected drive in the Computer folder in Windows Vista. When you are connected to the Internet, WebSpace behaves like any other folder, and you can copy, move, delete, and open files within that folder. You can also drag-and-drop files or cut and paste them directly into WebSpace through Windows Explorer.
