# WebDAV

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

## Connection Information <a href="#webdav-server-details" id="webdav-server-details"></a>

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](http://www.webdav.org/neon/litmus/), the official testing tool from the WebDAV organization.
