[nehacms-0r3f0r]

 Hi,

I am trying to connect to crx repository using webdav with url : http://localhost:4504/crx/repository/crx.default but not able to connect. It says "Folder you entered does not seem to be valid". Have followed steps using https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/administer/content/webdav-access.html

Kindly let me know what next steps I should proceed with.

Thanks,

Neha

Neha, 

you need to change the value of the following registry key to 2 or more and restart your machine:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

How to enable support for Basic Authentication for WebDAV on Windows 7.

If you are having difficulty using Windows 7 to connect to a Web-based application on an Apache/Linux-based WebDAV server, you may need to enable support for Basic Authentication for WebDAV on your Windows 7 computer. To do this, open Registry Editor and create the following new registry entry under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters:

Name: BasicAuthLevel

Type: DWORD (32-bit) Value

Value: 2

If you do this, you should make sure the Web-application uses SSL since the Basic Auth password is sent in cleartext.

Note that the possible values you can assign to this new registry entry are:

0 - Basic authentication disabled

1 - Basic authentication enabled for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) shares only

2 or greater - Basic authentication enabled for SSL shares and for non-SSL shares

If you have feedback concerning this tip, please email me. And be sure to check out my website!

Also - what tasks do you want to perform using WebDav? DO you want to upload files to the AEM JCR? 

[nehacms-0r3f0r]

yes followed but got error

[nehacms-0r3f0r]

Want to upload files like images css to AEM JCR is there any other way i can do that till the time issue is not resolved.

[smacdonald2008 · Accepted solution]

Yes - i have never used WebDav as i get errors too. I am not a fan of modifying the Reg keys either. 

I wrote this tool to improve this use case - its a desktop app written in Java that uploads files very nicely. I use it almost daily.

ALso - i will post a HELPX video on this use case too for our AEM YouTube channel:

Hope this helps....
