Initial WHS Folder Setup
1. Add a Folder using WHS Dashboard for the primary WebDAV folder, ie. “Web Folders” (to be used later).
Enable WebDAV
Note: The remainder of the instructions will apply to the Internet Information Services Manager application.
Create Virtual Directories
5. Right click on Default Website and select Add Virtual Directory.
6. Provide an Alias (ie. WebFolders), and select Physical Path for Web Folders (Created in Step 1). This will be referred to as the primary virtual directory going forward.
Note: The Alias chosen here will be used in the server path to access your WebDAV folders. (ie https://xxxx.homeserver.com/Alias)
7. Create all other virtual directories as needed in same manner underneath the primary virtual directory just created.
Tip: Create child virtual directories for each WHS folder location to be accessed via WebDAV. Example Setup:
|
Virtual Directory |
URL |
|
Webfolders (primary) |
https://xxxx.homeserver.com/webfolders |
|
documents |
https://xxxx.homeserver.com/webfolders/documents |
|
backups |
https://xxxx.homeserver.com/webfolders/backups |
Assign Privileges for WebDAV Directories
8. Add the Users group to security privileges for primary WebDAV virtual directory created.
Note: Use the user account folder permissions within WHS dashboard to set up and prevent access to physical folders at the user level if needed.
9. Right click on your primary virtual folder and select Edit Permissions.
