WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP protocol which allows you to import and download resources, extensions and log files. 

In order to access the files, you will need to authenticate with your Agillic login credentials (staging or production).

You can access four folder structures of the Agillic Instance with a WebDAV connection.

Available Folder Structures

Folder
Example
Use Case
Export Files https://candy-prod.agillic.eu/api/export/files Download Export Files
Import Files https://candy-prod.agillic.eu/api/import/files Upload Import Files, Inspect Failed/Imported Files
Assets https://candy-stag.agillic.eu/bcmportlet/webdav/bcm Upload Images, Templates, and Custom Applications
Log Files https://candy-prod.agillic.eu/api/logs/logs View SDK, Access, and Catalina Logs

Please note that 'Assets' is only accessible on the Staging Environment, just as the 'Assets Manager' is only accessible on the Staging Environment. If you upload Custom Applications here, they must be published to the Production environment afterwards.

How to Access WebDAV on Windows

Please note that Agillic does not support the below software, other options are available.

The below example uses WinSCP.

  1. Open WinSCP
    • WinSCP opens with a login window
  2. Paste in the URL path you want to access into the 'Host Name' field e.g. https://candy-stag.agillic.eu
  3. Go to "Advanced" and choose "Directories" under "Environment" and paste "/bcmportlet/webdav/bcm" in the "Remote directory" input field. to access the instance Media Browser.
  4. Verify that:
    • 'File Protocol' is 'WebDAV'
    • 'Encryption' is 'TLS/SSL Implicit Encryption'
    • 'Port Number' is '443'
  5. Fill in your username and password. These are the same credentials you use to log into your Agillic instance.
  6. Click Login

You are now logged into WebDAV and can upload, download and view the files from your Agillic environment's folder.
