A free WebDAV client for Windows?

Question

I'd like to copy files from a network drive to a SharePoint site (perhaps as a mapped drive). What's a good client to do so? Obviously Windows (XP) Explorer is bad, I'm trying RichCopy at the moment. Any opinions on CoreFTP? Are there any recommended open-source WebDAV clients?

Solution 1

I use http://www.anyclient.com/ for all my WebDav transactions and have had no issues...

Solution 2

Bitkinex works great. (http://www.bitkinex.com)

And for mapping WebDAV as a drive you can use the free client from http://www.cloudsafe.com (https://secure.cloudsafe.com/pages/topics_cloudsafeclient.html)

Solution 3

Have you tried WinSCP or http://www.bitkinex.com/

What about wget?

Incidentally, what's wrong with Explorer?

Solution 4

I used freefilesync to sync my remote folder to the sharepoint folder. I do this using the batch file utility that comes with freefilesync, then I call the batchfile using FreeFileSync.exe @batchfile@. It works fine, except that it remains as checked out, so users still cannot see it. How do I change the status to checked-in programmatically?

Why is it bad? What am I missing out on?

+1 to MrChrister, I don't know why the webdav client that is built into Windows won't be good for you.

It's bad because it doesn't offer verbose error messages.

@gary - Not sure how much this helps (way back when) I was on the project that required the WebDAV file management, I did try AnyClient at first and it was pretty good. FreeFileSync proved better for my application though - I guess I never noticed this answer though! (I wrapped the project in June '10). Thanks!
