Hi all,
Im trying to access my WebDAV remotely mapping a Network Drive.
Using a client called NetDrive2, I am able to connect with my server, open folders and files.
Without any third party App, Windows 10 fails to find the server. Error Message is something like "Folder is not vaild, choose another folder"
I tried: This PC -> Computer -> Map Network Drive/Address -> Folder = http://[ADDRESS]:[PORT] and all other possibilities I could figured out (with "www.", without :[PORT], with Foldername...)
As my Server is working with NetDrive, does anyone know what am I doing wrong or just how to configure WebDAV as Drive?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Instead of going through the GUI it said you should go to a command prompt and type in a command similar to this one:
net use * https://webdav.example.com:port/folder
It prompted me for a username and password and then mapped the drive.
You can also try this option to prompt your enter the credential to see the results:
To prevent use of default credentials while you map the WebDAV path, select the Connect using different credentials check box on the Map Network Drive screen. Then, you will be prompted for credentials explicitly.

What is the question here? You say:
Using a client called NetDrive2, I am able to connect with my server, open folders and files.
1. Do you mean you don't want to use NetDrive2?
2. What is the server configuration? Standard Windows, Mac, Linux, any third-party apps?
Best regards George

Old query - but new information to anyone still looking at this kind of problem. Likely issue is, if your remote server is using a non-standard port number (not 80, or 443 for encrypted connections), it will give you this error message. So far, it looks like the only way to overcome this issue is to use a third-party piece of software to connect to the WebDAV server successfully, and not have Windows Explorer integration (and therefore, no mapped network drives). If there is any other fix, I haven't found it yet.

The net use command does not allow any port number to work other than 80, and 443 if the server's 302 redirect from 80 to 443 is configured correctly. So if OP is using a custom port number, it is unlikely to work. I don't know if a 302 redirect can be configured to any other port number besides 443 but that would be a serverside fix. Or use the default port, if possible.
