We set up the Webdav functionality to enable our schools to upload larger files, rather that rely on us to upload for them. For various reasons the upload limit for our schools is set at 30mb, so we enabled schools to use Webdav to literally drag and drop large files into the Moodle course files.

As Mary says, if you have ftp access anyway, you don't necessarily need Webdav.

Hi Mary,

Thanks again for your helpfulness (all over the place). Re Webdav, yes I know I do not need it because I can ftp large files. My teachers (those I have to support) do not need it because I have fixed Moodle and the server in such a way that the file limits are HUGE; much more than they will ever need. So they can upload large files from inside the Moodle interface without coming to me for help.

But nevertheless they are clamouring for WebDav and claim some miraculous properties for it. Perhaps webdav does something else, apart from uploading large files.

It would be nice to know what it is, if anything.

But anyway, I want to get those two teachers and their complaints of my back, so I will give them WebDav whether they need it or not. (Ever heard about pesterpower? They must have learnt that from their pupils.)

Can you, or anybody else tell me where to download WebDav, which version to choose (to make it similar to the CLEO installation), and where to find installation instructions?

Thanks.

Adrian

Hi Matt,

Thanks for that information. Very useful.

I do have ftp access to the server.

Thanks.
