Registry setting that is documented in that walkthrough – and for testing purposes you could configure that to allow Basic Authentication just to help troubleshoot the problem. This behavior is governed by the BasicAuthLevel
Scenarios it is an absolute necessity when you are using Basic Authentication – by default the WebDAV client intentionally blocks WebDAV connections to non-SSL web sites when you are using Basic Authentication to connect. You mentioned the need for HTTPS when using WebDAV, and while this is a good "best practice" for publishing walkthrough, but there are a few things that I'd like to point out from that document. I would tend to agree with your suggestion that the problem is more than likely with the WebDAV client and not your server, and the reason why I had asked about SSL status and authentication types is because of the way that the WebDAV client works with those Is there anything else I should be checking or doing? Again this works from XP but not from my other web edition server? I've tried creating a new website and not using the certificate and connecting over http. I find it very odd that the client does not prompt me for the certificate? Also should BITS be installed?īoth these servers are remote from me, in the same data center. I've read this article (along with many other!!) and it talks about the "Remote Differential Compression for site server and branch distribution point computers",īut it doesn t seems posssible to load this feature on web edition, or at least it's not listed in the features list. Is there any other service I should be running? I've checked that the WebClient service is there and started. OK.for the other way.I get a different error message.ģ - Enter https url directly into wizard folder prompt on 1st window.Ĥ - Prompts for username and passowrd 3 times.ĥ - Error message - "The mapped network drive could not be created because of the following error has occurred: A device attached to the system is not functioning" (x2) NOTE: It never asks for me to accept the cert.ħ - Error message - "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. But here's what my standard attempt is.Ģ - Select "connect using different credentials"Ĥ - Select choose select custom network location.ĥ - Enter https url (using self-certificate)Ħ - Prompts for username and passowrd. I must have tried every path and option I can think of, even stupid things I've found posted by people.
Here's what I've been doing and the response I'm getting.Ģ - Sign up for online storage or connect to network server.Ĥ - Enter https url (using self-certificate)Ħ - Prompts for username and passowrd. Yes, I've installed the desktop environment. Thanks for getting back to me on this, it's driving me mad!!!.
