On this page you can find the explanation of how to add the WebDAV server as network location, in 7 simple steps. That way, you can browse the WebDAV server with Windows Explorer.
First, go to "This PC" (or "My Computer") and click on the "Computer" tab. After that, click on "Add a network location".
When you have clicked on "Add a network location", the following window will be shown. Click "Next" to continue.
Here, select the "Choose a custom network location" and click "Next" to continue.
In this window, fill in your URL to the server.
For example, http://localhost/ will map localhost at port 80.
You can also specify the port in your URL, for example, http://localhost:3000/ will map localhost at port 3000.
And you can even give up a subdirectory of your server.
For example, the http://localhost:3000/subdir will map the directory "subdir" in your server at port 3000.
After filling in your URL, click "Next" to continue.
If the URL you filled in is a valid network location, you will be asked to name your network location. You can fill in any name you want. After that, click on "Next" to continue.
If everything went well, you get the following screen. Click on "Finish" to complete the process.
Go to "This PC" (or "My Computer") to check if your server is successfully added.
If this is the case, you've successfully added the server as a network location. You can click on the shortcut to go to the WebDAV server with Windows Explorer.
