Introduction

WebDAV is an extension of HTTP designed to let users edit and manage files stored on remote servers. When WebDAV service is enabled, client programs that support WebDAV, such as certain Windows apps, Mac OS Finder, Linux File Browser, will be able to remotely access the Synology NAS just like accessing a local network drive. In order to connect to the WebDAV directory in Windows 10, you’ll need the WebDAV site URL, your WebDAV account login details, and a name for the shortcut or connection. All three allow you to map WebDAV by mounting its folder as a mapped drive so you can view, edit, or delete files from the remote web server using your computer. The following instructions are for: installing and configuring the NetDrive WebDAV client for connecting to your FuguHub server and for assigning a drive letter on your PC to your FuguHub server. Download and install NetDrive. Use a browser and navigate to your FuguHub. We also collect information about NetDrive license activations for the purposes of advertising promotions and licensing enforcement. What Do we do with the information we collect? We will use contact information to email purchase receipts, software update notifications, security update notifications as well as a few helpful emails to get.

For Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 on Windows Server® 2008, Microsoft released a separate, downloadable WebDAV extension module that was completely rewritten. This new WebDAV extension module incorporated many new features that enable Web authors to publish content better than before, and offered Web administrators more security and configuration options. With the release of IIS 7.5, support for a newer WebDAV module was built-in for Microsoft IIS, and Microsoft released an updated version of the downloadable module that had been released for IIS 7.0. This newer version of the WebDAV module provides shared and exclusive locks support to prevent lost updates due to overwrites.

This document walks you through adding WebDAV publishing to an existing Web site by using the new WebDAV user interface and by directly editing the IIS configuration files.

Note

This walkthrough contains a series of steps in which you log on to your Web site using the local loopback address and the local administrator account. When using an administrator account, these steps should only be followed on the server itself using the loopback address or over SSL from a remote server. If you prefer to use a separate user account instead of the administrator account, you must create the appropriate folders and set the correct permissions for that user account when necessary.

Note

This topic discusses using the WebDAV Redirector to connect to your web site. Please see the Using the WebDAV Redirector topic for more information; specifically the 'Troubleshooting the WebDAV Redirector' section if you have trouble using the WebDAV redirector.

Prerequisites for Installing and Configuring WebDAV on IIS

The following items are required to complete the procedures in this article:

IIS 7.0 or later must be installed on your server, and the following must be configured:
- The Default Web Site that is created by the IIS 7.0 installation must still exist.
- The Internet Information Services Manager must be installed.
- At least one authentication method must be installed.
  Note
  If you choose to use Basic Authentication with the WebDAV redirector, you must connect to your server using HTTPS.
The WebDAV Redirector must be installed for Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012. (The WebDAV Redirector is already installed on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.) To install the WebDAV Redirector, use Server Manager to install the Desktop Experience feature.
