WebDAV

WebDAV will allow you to access the files on your site by either setting up a connection in Dreamweaver 8 or right through your operating system. By connecting through your operating system, you will be able to drag and drop files to your remote folder without any additional software.

Getting WebDAV

If you would like to set up WebDAV connectivity to your site AND you already have your NetID, please email Assistant Webmaster, Adam Palcich at app35@cornell.edu. Please make sure to include your NetID in your email.

For information about NetID's or if you do not have a NetID but you are a Cornell alumnus, please see: http://www.alumni.cornell.edu/netid/

If you are not a Cornell alumnus and need a NetID, please send an email to app35@cornell.edu or contact your representative at Alumni House.
