Hi, am trying to configure WebDAV for shared folder access. I am testing internally to avoid any issues with external access being the problem but no luck. Service enabled using dedicated port/s for http and https (while testing as will remove http when confirmed working), Permissions setup and have tested using folder permissions and also WebDAV permissions. When trying to add as a network location I receive a “folder you entered does not appear to be valid” error without any authentication prompt.
OK, number one, please do NOT share your NAS across the internet. Very bad idea. I don’t care if you are using HTTPS. All that does is encrypt your data. It does nothing to protect your NAS from vulnerabilities that it has. Many people have been burned by hackers infecting their NASes.
If you want to share data across the web, please set up a VPN and allow your remote clients to connect to you over the VPN. By doing that, then you don’t need to use WebDAV and it is much more secure.
