Webdav Confluence Windows 10
Asked by Kevin Pariente:

Hi,

I allow myself to contact you because i would like to use Webdav function from my computer on Windows 10.

Unfortunately, i met an error when i tried to connect network drive to Webdav :

You can see more details in the screen below ![screen_webdav_error.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12225i9B002032D856D69F/image-dimensions/332x267?v=v2 "screen_webdav_error.png")

I consulted and applied other article like [Unable to authenticate while mapping a WebDAV client network drive in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/unable-to-authenticate-while-mapping-a-webdav-client-network-drive-in-confluence-200705136.html) but the problem persist....

So, could you please help us ?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards

Kevin P.

body: Thanks,  
I followed your link and visibly the problem persist.  
I did several tests in the field "Internet or network address" with the following addresses :  
https://URL_CONFLUENCE:PORT  
also  
https://URL_CONFLUENCE:PORT/plugins/servlet/confluence/default  
then I clicked on "Next"  
I received the same message : "The Folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."  
Like it was specified in the article, I clicked on OK , I didn't see the "login screen".

So, as you requested, I clicked on the link and here is the message I received :

![webdav_screen.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12423iBBAB342D613828E4/image-dimensions/395x370?v=v2 "webdav_screen.png")

I also followed your link *"Windows 10 + WebDAV...." :*

*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\WebClient\\Parameters\\ BasicAuthLevel to 2 : No Difference*

On the other hand "*Is the SSL certificate self signed?" :*

I confirm the SSL certificate is self signed , as you can see in the picture below : *![webdav_screen2 (3).png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12425iC648917EA58BC11A/image-dimensions/440x171?v=v2 "webdav_screen2 (3).png")*

Do you think that the self signed certificate is causing of this blocking?

Thanks for your help.

body: It could be related to SSL as you suggest, but I also found another article that mentions the exact error you are seeing and it says credentials are the issue. The WebDav server expects your Confluence credentials. The article suggests checking that box for "Connect using different credentials" and then putting in the login and password you use for the server WebDav is on.

Please see step 7:[Establish a WebDAV Connection to Your Windows Package](https://help.1and1.com/hosting-c37630/webspace-and-access-c85098/webdav-c40014/establish-a-webdav-connection-to-your-windows-package-a605670.html)
