Below you there is a list of WebDAV clientes grouped by Operating System. Once you have installed any of these tools, you can access to OpenKM repository with this URL:

http://your-domain.com/OpenKM/repository/default

To enhance compatibility, starting with OpenKM 5.0.4 when an WebDAV path is like /okm:root/myfile.txt it is translated to /okm_root/myfile.txt because some WebDAV clients does not like character : in the path. Starting with OpenKM 5.1 we have added a new configuration parameter called system.webdav.fix to make this behavior configurable.

Since OpenKM 5.0 WebDAV is disabled by default. If you want to enable it, add system.webdav≠on to your OpenKM.cfg configuration file. Starting with OpenKM 5.1 this property will be renamed to: system.webdav.server≠on

Windows

From Windows you can access OpenKM repository exposed via WebDAV using one o this tools:

• http://www.netdrive.net/ (Free for home use but does not handle document versioning properly)
• http://www.webdrive.com/ (The recommended option and create a new document version when you save the modifications)

This page from Greenbytes is an excellent resource to analyze & fix problems with your Windows WebDAV client.

You can try connecting directly using windows networking:

• open networking
• connect as network resource
• write url http://host:8080/OpenKM/repository/default/okm:root
• write user and password

Mac

From OS X you can use:

• http://cyberduck.ch/
• http://www.webdrive.com/ (Yes, there is a version for Macintosh OS/X)

Linux

From Linux you can use:

• http://dav.sourceforge.net/
• http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2

For example, in Ubuntu or any Debian-based Linux distro you can install this utility this way:

Make a mount point:

And mount it:

$ sudo mount.davfs "http://localhost:8080/OpenKM/repository/default" ~/okmdav
