Chapter 4 - Uploading Assets Using WebDAV

1. Advanced Uploading
   
   1. EnterMedia includes a Java based drag and drop uploader.
      
      1. Includes GZIP compression
      2. Supports SSL encrypted connections.
      3. Allows folders to be uploaded
      4. Provides progress bar with status such as upload speed
   2. To enable advanced uploading the server needs the siteRoot property set.
   3. In the top level /_site.xconf make sure it includes the property
      <pages>
        <property name="siteRoot">http://youdomainnameorip:8080</property>
      </pages>
2. WebDAV
   
   1. EnterMedia comes with WebDAV enabled by default. You will need a WebDAV client on your computer.
      
      1. On Windows we recommend using NetDrive http://www.netdrive.net/download.html
         
      2. For the URL you will want something like this:
          http://demo.entermediasoftware.com/media/webdav/ or http://localhost:8080/media/webdav if you are testing locally.
      3. For the Linux client we recommend DavFS
            mount -t davfs http://demo.entermediasoftware.com/media/webdav/  -o  uid=cburkey,gid=cburkey /media/demo
      4. On MacOSX you can use the Finder and Go → Connect to Server...
         That will bring up a dialog window where you can enter the URL of your WebDAV site (http://demo.entermediasoftware.com/media/webdav/)
      5. The account should match the same username and password as your OpenEdit users. By default that is admin  admin.
   2. The EnterMedia server will return a list of any catalogs configured for the site that the user has permissions to. Used can then upload, delete or move assets. Once assets are uploaded they will automatically be created and can be searched from EnterMedia.
