# WebDAV

You can use ExpanDrive to connect to a WebDAV server using either HTTP or HTTPs. 

## Connection Parameters

### Server

The address of the server you are connecting to, including the protocol prefix, either `https://`  or in rare circumstances `http://`. Check with your WebDAV provider for the URL to use.

### Username

This is the username assigned for your access to the WebDAV server. 

### Password

Your password is saved [securely](https://docs.expandrive.com/security#authentication) in the macOS Keychain or the Windows credentials vault.

### Remote path

The remote path allows you to enter a path on the remote server which limits which directory will be the top-most directory visible through this connection. Specify the absolute path to the directory, such as `/home/user/inbox` .

One reason to specify this path is to create a connection to a single specific directory, which can simplify operations on your computer, allowing you to interact directly with the mount folder rather than repeatedly navigating through subfolders.

### Nickname

The nickname identifies this connection on your machine. This name is used as the volume label on the mounted drive.
