# 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](/security.md#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 in the form `/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 opening subfolders.

### Nickname

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