Hi Senthil,

maybe the cFolders configuration guide will help you. Here you will find also information on WebDAV. The configuration guide is attached to the SAP note 973764 and could also be downloaded from the following link:

Best regards,

Hello Senthil,

you can use WebDAV for two purposes:

a) maintenance of cFolders settings with special URL

b) to maintain documents in cFolders via the MS Windows Explorer using the SAP NetWeaver Portal Drive.

You do not need the Enterprise Portal to be installed to use the WebDAV functionality together with SAP NetWeaver Portal Drive.

The name SAP NetWeaver Portal drive is a little bit misleading.

It is called Portal drive, since it is the WebDAV client for the Knowledge Management (KM) of the portal also.

When using the SAP NetWeaver Portal drive with cFolders no portal is required as the SAP NetWeaver Portal drive acts also as WebDAV client for cFolders. The SAP NetWeaver Portal drive is a 3rd party WebDAV client from a company called XYTHOS (http://www.xythos.com/home/xythos/company/company.html), which can be used by SAP customers for free.

You can download the Installer for the SAP NetWeaver Portal drive from SAP Service Marketplace under http://service.sap.com/swdc

-> Download -> SAPSupport Packages and Patches -> Entry by Application Group

-> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver2004s -> Entry by Component -> Frontend -> Portal Drive 4.4

Important: you must not use the Microsoft WebDAV interface for maintaining documents in cFolders collaborations. It does not fit to cFolders as there are security issues with using Microsoft WebDAV (my network places) together with cFolders
