Using WebDAV¶
Access infoRouter documents directly from Windows File Explorer using WebDAV.
Getting Started¶
- Set up a WebDAV connection to your infoRouter server
- Click on your WebDAV folder in Windows Explorer
- You'll see Anonymous Libraries and a "Click here to Login" folder
- Click the login folder to authenticate
- Enter your infoRouter credentials
Navigating in WebDAV¶
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Open folder | Click or double-click folder |
| Open document | Double-click to launch in native app |

Direct Creation
With WebDAV, you can create documents directly in infoRouter without uploading separately.
Editing Documents¶

Deleting Documents¶
- Navigate to the file or folder
- Select it (click once)
- Press Delete key

All WebDAV operations respect infoRouter security:
- You can only access libraries you're a member of
- Folder and document permissions are enforced
- Save operations require appropriate write permissions
