WebDAV Access using Web Browsers

WebDAV, an extension of HTTP, allows browsing and downloading data directly through any web browser.

Connect to the Data Store

In your web browser, enter the URL of the data location.

If the data requires authentication, you will be prompted to log in:

  • Username: <CyVerse username>
  • Password: <CyVerse password>

Web browsers allow you to list directories, view text file contents, and download files. To manage data fully (e.g., upload, move, or delete files), use GoCommands, iCommands, SFTP, or WebDAV Command-line Tools instead.
