Different WebDAV servers have different authentication requirements. Some servers
require you to enter a user name and password for every transaction; other servers require
authentication only the first time you check out a managed file. When the Authentication
dialog box appears, enter your user name and password, and click OK.
When adding a new server to the workgroup, you will need to provide a unique server
nickname (this will appear in the Workgroup Servers list) and a URL for the server.
To set up a server for use with Illustrator:
1 Choose File > Manage Workgroup > Workgroup Servers.
2 Specify a folder in which you want to store local copies of managed files. To change the
default location, click Choose, and specify a different folder.
Note: The path you choose here is used for all servers you want to add. Changing this path
does not change the location of files on existing servers.
3 Specify the WebDAV servers you want to use, or do one of the following:
• To add a new server to the list, click New Server, specify a server nickname and URL, and
click OK.
• To remove a server from the list, click Remove, and then click OK to the warning
message.
4 Click OK, or click Advanced Options to specify additional information about the server.
5 In the Advanced Options dialog box, select Use a Custom Workgroup Files Location for
This Server to set up a custom workgroup file repository for this collection of files; then
click Choose or Select and specify a folder.
Note: This option is only available for adding a new server, not for existing servers.
6 To specify additional URLs by which you can access this server, type the alternate URL
under Alternate Server URLs for This Server, and click Add. Currently, Illustrator stores the
URL information, but does not use it to locate files.
7 To remove previously entered alternate URLs, select the URL and click Remove.
8 Click OK.
Opening managed files
To view a managed file, open a copy of the file from a WebDAV server. The File > Manage
Workgroup > Open command creates a local copy of the file on your hard drive.
After you have a local copy of a file, you can update it with changes from the managed file
on the server by using the Revert command (for checked out files), the Update command
(for non-checked out files), or by setting an automatic update option in the Workgroup
preferences (see “
Setting preferences for managed files” on page 45).
To open a managed file:
1 Choose File > Manage Workgroup > Open.
2 Select a server, a directory, and the file you want to open.
3 Do one of the following:
• Click Check Out if you want to open and check out at the same time. (See “Checking
files out and in” on page 43.)
• Click Open if you want to open a local copy without checking it out.
