Seafile-Hilfe: WebDav

WebDav

Web pages usually cannot be edited when loaded by a web browser.

However, WebDav allows for additional revision of page content. For people working simultaneously on one project, this feature may help to introduce and to control the applied corrections as they are immediately displayed to all users.

    In order to show and edit documents from the Seafile server in WebDav, you first have to generate an access code. Therefor, sign into your Seafile account and press the circle button on the top right (1). Then, select Settings (2).

     

     

    Generate a password under WebDav Access Code by clicking on the pen symbol (3). By selecting the eye symbol (4), the password is alternately displayed or hidden. Finally, select Submit to save the code.

      Now, access the web page https://seafile.rlp.net/seafdav by an internet browser. Insert the Login name in the User Name box and the generated Access Code in the Password box.

      After having confirmed with OK, the data on the Seafile server will be displayed. Choose documents from the list to edit.
