On this page you will learn about web upload.

The web upload allows you to transfer files to your web server. It uses the network protocol WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning). WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP protocol and replaces the previous upload methods via FTP and HTTP-PUT. The new method is supported by all common operating systems as well as by many HTML authoring tools. We recommend using encrypted access via HTTPS.

Application

• WinSCP is recommended as a WebDAV application
• Using Windows Explorer is not recommended

Access

• Access is only possible within the RWTH network (e.g., eduroam, institute network, VPN connection via Full Tunnel)
• You can find the required access data in the Webhosting Portal under My URLs > Details > Request WebDAV access data. This does not apply to websites that were migrated from the old administration system

New WebDAV URL

http://webhosting-upload.rwth-aachen.de/site/ 

Replace site with your website name.
