Tridion provides great WebDAV functionality to browse and add items to Tridion. I use this to bulk upload images to Tridion. The unfortunate thing is the WebDAV protocol is very quirky and the client is implemented differently per OS.
One trick I use is to open the WebDAV url with Microsoft Office Word.
Steps:
1. Open Word
2. File, open
3. Insert webdav url. Mine is: http://tridcms.test.tomtom.com/webdav
4. Type your credentials and smile. You’re connected to the CMS via WebDAV.
5. I usually go back to Windows Explorer, copy a bunch of images, and then in Word paste them.
Enjoy!
Hi Robert,
Today I had an issue that I couldn’t get windows explorer (windows 2008 r2) to connect to webdav, but I didn’t have Word available on the machine. To solve this I installed http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772567.aspx which solved the problem.
Hope this may help anyone out there 🙂
