WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning." It allows you to access your WWU Novell network drives (U:\, S:\, etc.) from a computer not connected to Western's Novell Network. Your WWU Novell network drives will show up as a folder under My Network Places.
Windows XP:

Note: If you cannot connect at this point, try using http:// instead of https:// in the URLs above.
Your network drives will now be accessible by clicking WWU Novell Drives in the My Network Places folder. Open the desired folder, entering your credentials if prompted. You will now be able to use your network drives as if they were folders on your computer (with a slight delay while opening and saving files). NOTE: Your U:\ Drive is labeled “Home@WWU”
Windows Vista:
Unfortunately, WebDAV on Vista is not currently working. We are looking into it, and this page will be updated once the issue is resolved.
