FileRise includes a built-in WebDAV endpoint at /webdav.php. Use HTTPS for all WebDAV access.

Security recommendations

Enable HTTPS (TLS) before using WebDAV.
Disable WebDAV if you do not use it.
Use dedicated FileRise users for WebDAV access.
Avoid sharing admin accounts.

Client setup (quick)

macOS Finder: Connect to Server -> https://your-domain/webdav.php
Windows: Map a network drive -> https://your-domain/webdav.php
Linux (gio): gio mount dav://username@your-domain/webdav.php/

Limits

WebDAV uploads can be capped with FR_WEBDAV_MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES.
Encrypted-at-rest folders disable WebDAV by design.
