The WebDAV feature allows users to perform the following from Internet Explorer:
•Upload local files to TeamConnect
•Download TeamConnect files locally
•Copy files to other TeamConnect folders
•Move files to other TeamConnect folders
Important: The TeamConnect WebDAV feature is certified for Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.
Important: If you use the WebDAV feature, you must put a valid URL in the Login URL field of Email Settings. See the Admin Settings, Email Page Field Descriptions table for details.
If the Enable WebDAV setting is enabled, TeamConnect Documents pages will display a Open In Explorer link in the upper right. Clicking this hyperlink opens the current TeamConnect Documents folder in Internet Explorer. You can also refer to 3rd party documentation for using Internet Explorer 6 as a WebDAV client.
The following overview includes prerequisites and steps to use WebDAV for Documents folders:
1.Enable WebDAV from TeamConnect Admin Settings.
2.Send users instructions for setting up Internet Explorer to automatically link to TeamConnect Documents folders. In addition, you must provide the following URLs to users:
oUser's Documents folder URL:
http://Hostname:PortNumber/application_name/davroot/Users/user_name
For example,
http://10.7.7.3:8005/teamconnect/davroot/Users/John
oTeamConnect Root Documents folder URL:
http://Hostname:PortNumber/application_name/davroot/
For example,
http://10.7.7.3:8005/teamconnect/davroot/
After WebDAV is enabled from TeamConnect and configured from Internet Explorer, a screen like the following becomes available:

•Internet Explorer only supports WebDAV URLs that are less than 100 characters long. See the following Microsoft Knowledge Base note for more information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325355
•TeamConnect includes a WebDAV level 2 server capability.
•TeamConnect supports the WebDAV functionality specified in RFC 2518.
•The WebDAV server uses the same authentication set up for the user in TeamConnect. If single sign-on is not set up, the server requests a username and password; this is the username and password of the TeamConnect user.
•TeamConnect will automatically check out and check in a file when it receives a put (copy) request if the file is not locked by the user or checked out to another user.
•Checking out a file in TeamConnect will not lock the file in Internet Explorer.
•Microsoft refers to WebDAV as "Web Folders".
