WebDAV client, any suggestions?
Hi,
asking the people who probably use WebDAV clients all the time: any
suggestions for a good WebDAV client? (both Windows and Linux apply)
I'm downloading and trying clients myself of course, but not knowing yet
what to expect I also don't know yet what to look for.
Cheers,
-Tako

Yeah, I had encountered it before on my searches but I doubted that code
from 2004 would still work with a current jEdit.
Today I decided to try it anyway and it does actually show up in the plugins
menu, but in the end I couldn't make it work.
The integration wasn't great anyway, it has it's own Load and Save options
that aren't really integrated into the editor itself.

WebDAV support for jEdit is/was via a plug-in, not built-in. Looks
like the plug-in is kind of old and the advertised website for the
plug-in is no longer is valid. It would only be useful for text
editing, but some version of the plug-in can be downloaded from (after
a quick Google search):
http://developer.marklogic.com/code/webdavjedit
I have not tried it yet, so no guarantees from my end. Not sure if the
source is still available from anywhere.

I also had trouble finding an external client that worked consistently for
one of my customers. We finally settled on CyberDuck for Mac and BitKinex
for windows (they also use Dreamweaver successfully).

I don't know if the WebDAV support in Vista has improved any, but I doubt
it: try editing a file directly from the network drive, it probably won't
work.
This means that each time you edit something you first have to copy it
locally, change it and upload it again. Not very useful if you do a lot of
editing.
The NetDrive product (http://www.netdrive.net/) does allow you to do that
and works perfectly on several of the public WebDAV sites that it comes
configured with out of the box. It just doesn't work with Sling.
I also tried jEdit because it supposedly had built-in WebDAV support, but it
seems it doesn't anymore unfortunately.

I've just tried creating a network drive in Explorer (Windows XP) and it seems to work.
Note: this isn't a very serious test since I just uploaded a picture and was able to download it again
and look at it in the browser.
Apparently Vista does WebDAV the same as XP but Windows 7 has a different implementation.
I can't get my hands on a windows 7 box right now unfortunately.

I just tried NetDrive myself for Windows, but somehow it doesn't play nice
with the Sling/Jackrabbit WebDAV implementation. All files and folders are
prepended with the site's URL somehow, like this:
/mysite.org/somefolder
/mysite.org/index.html
/mysite.org/styles.css
I'm not talking about folder structure here, these are the actual NAMES of
the files, slashes included. Of course Windows is not able to make heads or
tails of these files and fails to open them.
*sigh*
Found an application that does work correctly, BitKinex, but it's more like
old-fashioned FTP clients. That's okay but it makes working with files
needlessly complicated IMHO.

The same can be said for OS X.
Finder (built-in file manager) is able to play nicely with WebDAV.

Hi,
can only answer for Linux:
nautilus (standard GNOME-File-Manager) is able to speak WebDAV.
Just connect to the server and use it like any other file-system.
