Mac WebDAV server, connecting from Windows

denn88 · 06-23-2006, 10:32 AM

I setup WebDAV succesfully using this tutorial. As stated in the tutorial you have to set 2 user accounts (1 for Mac and 1 for Windows -> email style account). The Windows users have to login using a email style account: user@server.com. Wich is fictional.

I've tested this in various ways and was not able to connect to my home Mac from a Windows Pc (2000 & XP) at work. It keeps asking the login username and password. But when accessing the WebDAV folder (same account setup) using a webbrowser on Pc's it works fine.

Connection can be made
- Home Mac -> 'localhost' home Mac (command + k)
- Work Mac -> home Mac (command + k)
- Home Linux -> home Mac
- Work Pc Win2000 -> work Mac (map netwerk-drive)
- Work Pc/Mac (via webbrowser) -> home Mac

No connection can be made
- Work Win98 Pc -> home Mac (using special program)
- Work Win2000 Pc -> home Mac (map netwerk-drive)
- Home WinXP -> home Mac (map netwerk-drive)

The setup of my work Mac and home Mac are the same. Using the build in Apache 1.x webserver and WebDAV module. At home I have a DrayTek Vigor 2600 DSL router, port 80 is redirected to my home Mac's IP and same port. The work Mac is able to connect to my home Mac just fine.

My Mac at work can connect to my WebDAV home Mac using the Finder. But Windows can't. I'v created several email style accounts and various options on the htpasswd creation scheme: -m (MD5) -d (Unix CRYPT) and -p (plain text) password. But nothing seems to work for Windows users.

Anyone have gotten WebDAV running and Windows client users are able to connect over the internet?
