WebDAV¶
An alternative to access your CERNBox files/folders is to mount CERNBox using WebDAV. This access method also works from outside the CERN network. Use the following URL for your personal space:
https://cernbox.cern.ch/cernbox/webdav/home
Full access the to underlying storage is available using the full path. For example:
- For user spaces:
https://cernbox.cern.ch/cernbox/webdav/eos/user/d/doe
- For project spaces:
https://cernbox.cern.ch/cernbox/webdav/eos/project/c/cernbox
Note: please do not use these URLs in the web browser.
Suggestions and limitations
- WebDAV access is not efficient when it comes to transferring a large amount of files. For those cases, we recommend different access methods.
- For Windows and MacOS, we recommend to use Cyberduck or other 3rd party applications as WebDAV client. The MacOS native client has been reported to be slow, and the Windows File Explorer provides limited support of the WebDAV standard and does not work with CERNBox.
