1.3 ! raeburn 2:
! 3: If your domain has Apache with SSL running on the LON-CAPA server where you
! 4: access your Authoring Space (i.e., URLs begin https://) and your Domain
! 5: Coordinator has enabled webDAV access for users with author or co-author
! 6: roles, then you will be able to connect to an Authoring Space using webDAV.
1.1 raeburn 7:
8: A webDAV connection allows you to mount the Authoring Space directory tree as an
9: external volume. You can then use your own laptop/desktop computer's file management
1.3 ! raeburn 10: tools and applications to copy, move, edit and delete files (including dragging and
! 11: dropping folders, etc.).
1.1 raeburn 12:
13: The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
14: the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV
15: environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
16: the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
17:
18: Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without a mechanism to
19: reverse the deletion), it is important that you are especially careful when working in the
20: webDAV environment with this type of content.
21:
22: When you display the contents of a directory in Authoring Space using webDAV you may see
23: additional files, with extensions .log, .save, .bak etc. for each LON-CAPA .problem
1.3 ! raeburn 24: file. You can view the contents of these files but you will not be able to modify or
1.2 raeburn 25: delete them. These files are created by LON-CAPA when using the web GUI.
1.1 raeburn 26: For example, a .log file, which records publication history, is updated whenever you
27: use ``Publish'' to copy a file from Authoring Space to Resource Space, and .bak files
28: enable use of the LON-CAPA ``Undo'' button in regular web browser-based editing in
1.2 raeburn 29: Authoring Space.
