On Mac OS WildApricot WebDAV is only available in read only mode. On Windows platform you can both read and write files. We are working to address this limitation.

Working with WebDAV

Wild Apricot WebDAV function is useful in conjunction with CSS customization (See 5. CSS Customization and especially Using images in CSS customization) - or in any other case when you need to directly upload some files on Wild Apricot server.

Add WebDAV to My Network Places.

The example below is for Window XP. Other versions of Windows should work very similarly.

  1. Go to "My Network Places".
  2. Click on "Add network place".
  3. Click the "Next" button in opened wizard.
  4. Select "Choose another network location" option and click "Next".
  5. Enter your webdave address ('http://your_domain_name:80/webdav') into "Internet or network address" and click "Next".
    • NOTE. Address has to start with 'http://' and end with ':80/webdav'
  6. Enter your Wild Apricot user name and password. Set "Remember me" checkbox. Click "Ок" button.
    • WebDAV feature is available for plans "Community" and above.
  7. Name your newly created Network Place. Click"Next".
  8. Click "Finish" on the last screen.
  9. Now you should see webdav directory for your Wild Apricot account:
