Connecting to Austin Disk Services Through WebDAV in Windows (supported versions)
Note: WebDAV limits file transfers to 2 GB in size. If you need to transfer larger files to austin.utexas.edu, use SFTP.
If you have subscribed to Disk Storage on austin.utexas.edu and you use your disk space on the Austin domain to store files or publish Web pages you can use the WebDAV protocol to access Austin disk files securely from off campus. This type of access, sometimes referred to as "opening a share," is available to students, faculty, and staff at The University of Texas at Austin.
