Uploading Web Hosting Files Using WebDrive/Goliath

You can upload and manage files on your website using the software WebDrive for Windows, Goliath for Mac OS, or cadaver for Unix and Linux.

The Web address/URL you will need to connect to via WebDrive/Goliath/Cadaver is https://webdav.hosting.vt.edu/[Your Site]
Note: Replace [Your Site] with the name of your Web site. The name needs to start with "www."
Example: https://webdav.hosting.vt.edu/www.abc.vt.edu

Windows

You can use the software WebDrive to publish and manage files and folders on your Web site. WebDrive is not a filemanager on its own but rather software that makes your Web site's files appear as a local drive. Just like the "C:" drive is your local harddrive, you choose which drive, such as "W:", that you want WebDrive to use for your site. In effect, when you are connected to your Web site via WebDrive, it is just like working on your local harddrive. You can use the familiar Windows Explorer or My Computer interface or any other filemanager software to drag-and-drop, rename and delete files, and create and remove folders. Follow the steps below to install and configure WebDrive.

Optionally, if you are using the Web development tool Macromedia Dreamweaver, and you would like to use its site management features, read the following article:
