Hello,

Look at the official documentation, e.g. <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/concepts/fileserv-subsystem-CIFS.html">Configuring SMB/CIFS server</a>.
WebDAV as a HTTP-based protocol is ready to go from the moment you install Alfresco. Simply go to http://yourhost/alfresco/webdav (add port 8080 if using the default installer without putting an Apache HTTPd proxy in front of Alfresco)

Hi AFaust,
Thanks for your reply..
Able to access the link, http://yourhost/alfresco/webdav.
I want to know here is that, how I could find the directory listing, which will be similar to Repository in Alfresco.

Hello,

sorry for the delay - project and Alfresco Summit has kept me busy.
I must admit I don't really understand your problem. If you can access WebDAV, you should see the directory listing that is identical to Repository view in Alfresco UI.
Maybe you can explain a bit more or attach screenshots which show the issue you are having…

Axel

Hey Faust,
Thanks for reply. Actually wanted to uploaded the document from client machine to alfresco (ubuntu server) using webdav. Can you please explain me the steps to follow for the same?
Can we upload pdf, html, txt files also without using webdav client?

Thanks in advance buddy…

Please use a WebDAV client to upload documents via WebDAV to Alfresco. If you are running Windows 7 or above, simply map the WebDAV URL to a drive in the Windows explorer UI and you are good to go.

Without using a WebDAV client, you can also upload using HTTP-based command line tools. E.g. if you are running on a linux client, simply use cURl.

Hey Faust,

By using this 'http://yourhost/alfresco/webdav' url, I can see the swsdp folder, which is under Sites folder.
But I want to list out all the folders which are under 'Repository'. e.g. Data Dictionary, Guest Home, Shared, Site etc.
Where do I need to change.

I am able to upload the doc files using HTTP, but not able to upload pdf, html and text files using HTTP.
How do I can upload those files??

Thanks in advance.

Yogesh, for one of your problems i.e Change mapping of default mapped "swsdp" folder using CIFS / WebDAV
Making the following entry in alfresco-global.properties should work
Commenting out the following.
#protocols.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}/${spaces.sites.childname}
Making it to :
protocols.rootPath=/${spaces.company_home.childname}

Hi Sanket,

Thanks for reply.
I just did the change which you asked to do in alfresco-global.properties file (/opt/bitnami/apache-tomcat/shared/classes).
Do we need to restart the alfresco tomcat to have the changes, as i'm still can see Repository listing from 'Site' directory.

Please do reply.

Hi Sanket,
Thanks for quick reply…
I'm using bitnami's alfresco. After changes, restarted the tomcat using following commands.
/opt/bitnami/apache-tomcat/bin# sudo ./shutdown.sh
/opt/bitnami/apache-tomcat/bin# sudo ./startup.sh

but still I can see only directories, which are there inside the 'Sites'.

For exemple with my default installation:
En utilisant Windows comme client WebDav: \\MONSERVEUR@7070\alfresco\
\\MONHOST@7070\alfresco\
En utilisant Firefox comme client WebDav: http://MONSERVEUR:8080/alfresco/webdav/
http://MONHOST:8080/alfresco/webdav/

En utilisant Windows comme client CIFS:\\MONHOST\alfresco
