What is WebDAV in BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:34 am

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a web-based protocol for managing files and folders. It is built on top of the HTTP protocol and uses the same ” request/response ” paradigm as the web browser.

WebDAV allows users to access files on a server through a web browser, and allows administrators to manage files and folders on a server through a web-based interface.

PRO TIP: WebDAV is a protocol that allows for the editing and management of files on a remote server. It is not supported by BigCommerce and should not be used.

WebDAV was designed to simplify the coordination of files and folders among multiple servers. It also allows administrators to version files and folders, and to create and manage subdirectories and links.

WebDAV is popular in BigCommerce because it eliminates the need to use different file management tools on the web and on the server, and it simplifies the process of sharing files and folders between users.
