WebDAV
With the help of a WebDAV client (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning), university staff and members can conveniently access data in the Jade University Collaboration Cloud via the file manager.
Use this access option with caution: In some cases, WebDAV clients do not reliably support “file locking,” which means that when multiple users access a document at the same time, only the last saved version remains. As a rule, you should install the Nextcloud desktop client and use it to access folders and files in the Collaboration Cloud.
Operating Systems
Microsoft Windows
Unfortunately, the WebDAV client included in the Microsoft Windows operating system is very unreliable, so you must first install WebDAV-compatible software and configure it accordingly. The university computer center has therefore purchased licenses for the WebDAV-compatible software WebDrive. You can find these
- in WebFiler under JADE-HS - Data (X) / HRZ Support / WebDrive
- on the data drives under Data X:\HRZ Support\WebDrive
Change here to the folder matching your operating system. After the successful installation, please configure it as follows:
License WebDrive:
- In the above mentioned folder you will find the file Lizenz.txt, copy the serial number here (to the clipboard).
- In the WebDrive client select Settings → Activate licence
- Paste the serial number (from the clipboard) into the field Registration Code
- Select the button “Activate licence”.
Configure WebDrive:
- In the WebDrive client, select “Add Connection” (the + sign at the top).
- Select the “WebDAV” card
- Connection name: JADE-HS - Collaboration Cloud (or JADE-HS - CC for short).
- Server address: https://ccs.jade-hs.de/remote.php/webdav/
- Username: default login (form: ma1150)
- Password: <your password>
- Drive letter: W:\
- WebDAV settings → Certificate settings
- Automatically accept the server certificate: enabled
- Click on “Save as”.
To use, double-click on the newly configured connection.
