2: If your domain has Apache with SSL running on your library server,
3: (i.e., URLs begin https://) and your Domain Coordinator has enabled webDAV access
4: for users with author or co-author roles, then you will be able to connect to an
5: Authoring Space using webDAV.
6:
7: A webDAV connection allows you to mount the Authoring Space directory tree as an
8: external volume. You can then use your own laptop/desktop computer's file management
9: tools and applications to copy, move, edit and delete files.
10:
11: The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
12: the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV
13: environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
14: the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
15:
16: Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without a mechanism to
17: reverse the deletion), it is important that you are especially careful when working in the
18: webDAV environment with this type of content.
19:
20: When you display the contents of a directory in Authoring Space using webDAV you may see
21: additional files, with extensions .log, .save, .bak etc. for each LON-CAPA .problem
22: file. You can view the contents of these files but you will not be able to edit or
1.2 ! raeburn 23: delete them. These files are created by LON-CAPA when using the web GUI.
1.1 raeburn 24: For example, a .log file, which records publication history, is updated whenever you
25: use ``Publish'' to copy a file from Authoring Space to Resource Space, and .bak files
26: enable use of the LON-CAPA ``Undo'' button in regular web browser-based editing in
1.2 ! raeburn 27: Authoring Space.
