WebDAV for Mac (10.4.x) Directions

 

Finding the siteID

 

The siteID is the unique identifier for your site used by CTools. You need to know the Site ID because it will be part of the address you will need to connect via WebDAV. Each site must be set up as a separate WebDAV connection, so the first time you connect to a given site, you will need to follow the directions below.


1... Click on Resources in the menubar (if resources is not already open).

 

2... Click the link Upload-Download Multiple Resources

 

3...Scroll down to the section "Your SiteID." You will see your siteID.

 

WEBDAV FOR MAC (OS 10.4.x)

Note : You must put at least one resource or one folder into the class OR project resource area before you set up WebDAV.

 

1... From the Finder, select Go from the menu bar and then select Connect to Server...


2... In the resulting dialog box, type in the path:


https://ctools.umich.edu/dav/group/<siteid>


...where <siteid> is the site id* of the class or group you want to access. (See the section, "Finding the siteID," above.)


OR


https://ctools.umich.edu/dav/user/uniqname


...where "uniqname" is your uniqname if you want to add access to resources in your My Workspace area.



3... Press the "+" button to save this path for future use.


4... Click Connect.


5... Type in your username and password and click OK.


6... You will now see a window on your Macintosh screen that represents the resources in your CTools site. You can now drag and drop files into this window and delete files by dragging them to the Trash.
