Connecting to WebDAV to work with portal pages and static content

The WebDAV entry URL is as follows:

• For default portal installations:

  http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_unique_name/

  or

  http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_object_id/

• For virtual portals:
  • If a host name was specified when the virtual portal was created, the WebDAV URL is as follows:

    http://virtual_portal_host_name:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_unique_name/

    or

    http://virtual_portal_host_name:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/contentmodel/page_object_id/

  • If the virtual portal was created with a URL context only and no host name was specified, the WebDAV URL is as follows:

    http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/URL_context_of_the_virtual_portal/!ut/p/dav/contentmodel/page_unique_name/

    or

    http://server:port/wps/mycontenthandler/URL_context_of_the_virtual_portal/!ut/p/dav/contentmodel/page_object_id/

Where:
