WebDAV

WebDAV is a standard protocol for accessing your ExaVault account from a desktop or other computer. ExaVault supports WebDAV in full.

Connection Information

The WebDAV URL for your site is the https:// URL to your ExaVault domain followed by /webdav. Use https://www.DOMAIN.com/webdav anywhere a URL is requested.

WebDAV is offered over https:// only. An unencrypted version is not offered.

WebDAV Server Details

ExaVault operates a proprietary WebDAV server built and maintained in-house. The server is compatible with the WebDAV standards, and we regularly verify compliance using Litmus, the official testing tool from the WebDAV organization.
