== How to use share.cs.vt.edu ==

=== About ===
share.cs.vt.edu is a departmental resource to help facilitate collaboration by allowing you to share files with an arbitrary group of users on a variety of computer platforms. Example: a file share among office staff who need access to the same, up to date, documents. share.cs.vt.edu uses WebDAV technology which is based on the already popular HTTP protocol. There are a variety of ways to connect and use a WebDAV resource. Some of them are listed below.

=== Creating a share ===

For now, you must contact techstaff@cs.vt.edu to create a share. In the future, we may create a tool that will allow you to create your own share online. Options to consider when you make your request to the techstaff: share name, who should have access, and whether to use CS login or some other login.

=== Accessing a share ===

==== All OSes ====

If you just need to read or copy a file from a share, then the quickest and easiest way from any Internet connection is to open a web browser and go the URL: https://share.cs.vt.edu/sharename replacing sharename with the name of the share you want to connect to.

There is also an extension to Firefox to allow connections to WebDAV called Webfolders. You can get the lastest version here: http://webfolder.mozdev.org

==== Microsoft Windows ====

* The recommended method to connect to a WebDAV share is to use the University available software called WebDrive. See instructions on downloading and installing WebDrive here: http://answers.vt.edu/kb/entry/2284
* After installing the program, run it
* Click on "New Site" to bring up the Site Wizard
* Enter a name you want to call this share -- it can be called anything you want
* Select the drive letter you wish map this share to

===== Cadaver (command line interface) =====
Cadaver is a command-line utility similar to FTP that will allow you to connect, read, and write to WebDAV shares. Just connect to the URL: https://share.cs.vt.edu/sharename replacing sharename with the name of share you want to connect to

===== Gnome Desktop =====
The ability to connect to WebDAV shares in gnome is a built-in feature.

[[Image:Gnome-webdav3.jpeg]]
* Optionally, you can add a bookmark which will appear directly on the "Places" menu

== How to use share.cs.vt.edu ==

=== About ===
share.cs.vt.edu is a departmental resource to help facilitate collaboration by allowing you to share files with an arbitrary group of users on a variety of computer platforms. Example: a file share among office staff who need access to the same, up to date, documents. share.cs.vt.edu uses WebDAV technology which is based on the already popular HTTP protocol. There are a variety of ways to connect and use a WebDAV resource. Some of them are listed below.

=== Creating a share ===

For now, you must contact techstaff@cs.vt.edu to create a share. In the future, we may create a tool that will allow you to create your own share online. Options to consider when you make your request to the techstaff: share name, who should have access, and whether to use CS login or some other login.

If you just need to read or copy a file from a share, then the quickest and easiest way from any Internet connection is to open a web browser and go the URL: https://share.cs.vt.edu/sharename replacing sharename with the name of the share you want to connect to.

There is also an extension to Firefox to allow connections to WebDAV called Webfolders. You can get the lastest version here: http://webfolder.mozdev.org
