5 Easy Steps to Connecting to Webdav at Login
I have several computers from which I access my online webdav server, where I save documents and other things, that I require to have access to at all times (when I’m online). For some reason I could not get my macs to automatically login to the webdav server when I logged on to the mac. But I found a way, here are the 5 easy steps to make it work.
1. Create a applescript containing
try
mount volume “http://webdav.yourserver.com”
end try
2. Save it
Remember to save it as the filetype application.
3. Test it
By doubleclicking your newly created .app file you should get the login prompt from the webdav server.
4. Automatic login
If you want this, you have to save the username/password in the keychain.
5. Run on startup
Drag the application to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Your Account >> Login Items
Now try and log out, and back in. You should now see your webdav connected and ready to roll.
