Manage Your Data Using WebDAV¶
WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a network protocol built on top of HTTP/HTTPS, enabling users to manage data on web servers. It operates over HTTP/HTTPS, ensuring secure data exchange between the client and server, with broad compatibility across various environments. WebDAV provides a flexible and reliable solution for managing data.
This guide covers how to use WebDAV to efficiently manage your data in the Data Store.
Limitations¶
Using WebDAV for File Transfers
WebDAV is ideal for transferring small files or small collections of files. While there is no strict size limit, it is not recommended for files larger than 10 GiB due to performance issues.
Alternatives for Large Files
For large files or extensive datasets, consider using GoCommands or iCommands instead. These tools offer better performance and efficiency for handling large data transfers.
For more details on GoCommands and iCommands, visit their respective documentation pages: - GoCommands - iCommands
