Connect to a WebDAV Server on macOS

On this page

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to connect to a WebDAV server on macOS. WebDAV lets you access files from a remote server as if they were local files on your Mac.

We'll use Puter's WebDAV server as an example, but these steps work with any WebDAV server.

1. Open the Connect to Server Dialog

Open Finder, then from the menu bar select Go > Connect to Server (or press ⌘K).

2. Enter the WebDAV Server Address

In the dialog that appears, enter the URL of your WebDAV server and click Connect.

For Puter, use: https://dav.puter.com/<username> (replace <username> with your Puter username).

3. Enter Your Credentials

When prompted, enter your username and password, then click Connect.

You can check Remember this password in my keychain to avoid entering it again.

Conclusion

That's it! You can now access your WebDAV files directly from Finder. Any changes you make sync automatically with the remote server.
