NetDrive / WebDrive

Both NetDrive and WebDrive are capable of providing a complete file system like abstraction to a remote WebDAV share. Thus far, these two clients seem to be the most complete, stable and robust WebDAV clients available for a windows environment. Following steps demonstrate how to set-up NetDrive to work with XWiki-WebDAV interface:

  • First you need to find and install NetDrive (or WebDrive) on your computer.
  • If you installed NetDrive correctly, you should see an icon on your task bar as shown below:

  • Now right click on this icon and select Open NetDrive:

  • The NetDrive window is pretty much intuitive, you should use this interface to create remote WebDAV connections as you prefer. Following is an example:
