This page is part of the Developer Section and belongs to the Web Application stack. It describes how to use the WebDAV file system interface.
BaseX offers access to the databases and documents using the WebDAV protocol. WebDAV provides convenient means to access and edit XML documents by representing BaseX databases and documents in the form of a file system hierarchy.
By default WebDAV service is activated and is accessible at http://localhost:8984/webdav/
. Generally it can be accessed using either with a http://<httphost>:<httpport>/webdav/
or webdav://<httphost>:<httpport>/webdav/
URL, depending on the used WebDAV client.
Authorization
The WebDAV service uses the database user credentials in order to perform authentication and authorization. If database user and password are explicitly specified when starting the BaseX HTTP Server using the corresponding startup options, WebDAV will not request additional user authentication from the client.
WebDAV Clients
Please check out the following tutorials to get WebDAV running on different operating systems and with oXygen:
