# WebDAV on StackOS

You can deploy a WebDAV Server on StackOS which will enable you to upload documents, and allow others to download those documents.

This is useful for:

* File Sharing
* Publishing Simple Sites
* Posting Public Avatar Images

The WebDAV App in the StackOS AppStore is targeted at this simple use case. 

All content will be Public Readable

Your personal user/password will enable File Uploads/Deletes

The default Username is "**alice**"

The default Password is "**secret1234**"

To Upload Content see "**WebDAV Client Setup"** below for connection information.

## **Environment Setup**

The main environment variable is "dav"

Where the default is:

dav = "/data,/root/data,**alice**,**secret1234**,false"

You can customize the Environment Variables before you deploy.

* **/data** is the publicly accessible path under which your data will be stored
* **/root/data** is the location of your Data Persistence volume
* **alice** is the username allowed to upload
* **secret1234** is the password for alice
* **false** means the server is NOT read only

## **Data Persistence**

The Data Persistence is set as /root/data

If you Change that, make sure the "dav" variable matches

**WebDAV Clients**

There are a number of WebDAV clients.
