WebDAV connectors support uploading resources to and downloading resources from an HTTP server.
Key Capabilities
- HTTP-based file transfer with multiple authentication schemes (None, Basic, Digest, NTLM, and Negotiate)
- Bidirectional file synchronization with remote folder polling and file mask filtering
- TLS client authentication and proxy support for secure connections
- Optional caching to ensure only new or updated files are downloaded
Overview
Each WebDAV connector is configured with an upload path and download paths on the remote server. Files processed by the connector are automatically uploaded to the specified upload path, and the download paths are polled for resources to retrieve.
Connector Configuration
This section contains all of the configurable connector properties.
Settings Tab
Authorization
Settings related to authenticating with the remote connection target.
Server Authentication
Settings related to authenticating the identity of a TLS/SSL server.
Send
Settings related to uploading files to the remote server.
Receive
Settings related to downloading resources from the remote server.
Caching
Settings related to caching and comparing files between multiple downloads.
When you enable caching, the file names are case-insensitive. For example, the connector cannot distinguish between TEST.TXT and test.txt.
Advanced Tab
TLS Client Authentication
Settings related to client authentication when two-way TLS authentication is required.
Advanced Settings
Settings not included in the previous categories.
Proxy Settings
Logging
Miscellaneous
Automation Tab
Automation Settings
Settings related to the automatic processing of files by the connector.
Alerts Tab
SLAs Tab
Establishing a Connection
To establish a connection, the WebDAV connector requires the URL of the target HTTP server and any authentication credentials required by the server.
Set the Auth Scheme property to your authentication mechanism, and the Settings tab automatically updates with the appropriate set of credentials to enter.
Uploading and Downloading
Upload
To upload files, set the Remote Folder in the Send portion of the Settings page to the path on the remote HTTP server where files should be uploaded.
Use the Overwrite remote files option to indicate whether files that already exist on the server should be overwritten or skipped.
After configuration is complete, files placed in the connector Transactions tab are uploaded to the HTTP server. If Send Automation is enabled, the upload happens automatically; otherwise, you can send individual files from the Transactions tab.
If a file fails to upload, the application attempts to send it again after the Retry Interval has elapsed. This process continues until the Max Attempts has been reached, after which the connector raises an error.
Download
To download files, set the Remote Folder in the Receive portion of the Settings page to the path on the remote HTTP server from where files should be downloaded. Use a comma-delimited list to specify multiple folders.
Use the File Mask to set a glob filter (for example *.txt) that limits the downloads to files matching the filter.
Use Delete to specify whether successfully downloaded files should be removed from the remote storage.
