[Building Sakai] webDAV & windows 7

Mon Mar 1 08:07:18 PST 2010

Web DAV has been a common problem (in various forms) for our users  
since forever.  At different times it's been specifically problematic  
for Vista, Windows 7, and Mac.  We evaluate each issue on a case-by- 
case basis but since the problem usually lies outside of Sakai  
itself, we eventually came up with some free and locally-tested 3rd- 
party clients that have worked for our users almost without fail.   
Subsequently, we've reworked our local "Upload-Download Multiple  
Resources" page to provide download links and use instructions for  
these clients.  I offered these to the community through SAK-15280.   
Direct link -  https://ctools.umich.edu/access/content/public/ 
webdav_instructions.html.  Feel free to use or adapt.  I'll be taking  
a look at the Win 7 solution in this thread and will add it to our  
page if testing looks good.
