Insteadofusingthe“Folder”linkonthehomepage,youcanalsogoto“ShareManagement”inthe

“ServerSettings”menu.Selectthe“Server”tabandthereyoucancopyeithertheinternalorthe

externalURL,dependingonwhereyourcomputeriscurrentlylocated,andpasteitdirectlyinto

theURLfieldofyourwebbrowser.

Ifyouwouldliketoupload,deleteandmanagethefilesviaWebD AVconnection,mountthenetwork

drive.MountingthenetworkdriveisdonesimilarlytohowyouwoulddoitforaSMBconnection.

ThemaindifferenceisthatforSMB,boththenetworkdriveandthecomputerhavetobeonthe

samelocalnetwork,whereasforWebDAVitalsoworkswhendoneremotely(loading andtransfer

speedareusuallyslowerwhendoneo utsidethelocalnetwork).

7.1.2 FILE ACCESS ON A PC

Forfileaccessonthelocalnetwork,mountingthedriveviaSMBisthemostconv enientsolution.

However,ifyouliketoaccessthenetworkdriveinthesamewayfromoutsidethelocalnetwork,the

drivehastobemountedviaWebDAV.IfyouareusinganFTPapplication,usetheFTPconnection

instead.
