WebDAV and Web File Server

Overview

This example creates a Web File Server plus WebDAV endpoint mounted at /fs/. It is compatible with BAS products that have a file system, including the Mako Server and Xedge32.

Web File Manager and WebDAV

Reference material:

Files

  • www/.preload - Creates the WebDAV IO, configures the lock directory, mounts the web file server at /fs/, and applies basic authentication.

How to run

Start the example with the Mako Server:

cd File-Server
mako -l::www

For more detail on startup options, see the Mako command line video and the Mako command line options documentation.

Then open:

  • http://localhost:portno/fs/

where portno is the HTTP port printed by the server.

Login credentials:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

For WebDAV drive mapping guidance, see:

How it works

The startup script opens a writable IO, creates a lock directory, loads the wfs support, and mounts a Web File Server instance at /fs/. It then creates a small username/password callback that authenticates admin / admin, wraps that callback in a BAS authenticator, and applies the authenticator to the mounted directory. When the app unloads, the /fs/ mount is removed cleanly.

Notes / Troubleshooting

  • On Windows, avoid mapping http://localhost/fs/ directly. Use a more specific path such as http://localhost/fs/C/ to avoid recursive lookup issues.
  • This app intentionally focuses on the /fs/ endpoint and does not add extra HTML pages around it.
