<title>Introduction</title>
<para><link xlink:href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV">WebDAV</link> is a protocol
that allows to mount a web server's directory
locally, so that it appears as a local directory. It is necessary that the
remote machine run a WebDAV server. This is not the aim of this tool to
configure the WebDAV server.</para>

<title>Creating a new entry</title>
<para>The first screen of the tool displays the already configured entries, if any, and a
<guibutton>New</guibutton> button. Use it to create a new entry. Insert
the server URL in the field of the new screen.</para>
<para>Then you get a screen with radio buttons to select some actions.
Continue with the action <guibutton>Mount point</guibutton> by clicking
<guibutton>OK</guibutton> after selecting the radio button, as the
<guibutton>Server</guibutton> is already configured. You can however
correct it, if needed.</para>

mount point.</para>

other options, you can give them in the <guibutton>advanced</guibutton>
screen.</para>

<para>The option <guibutton>Mount</guibutton> allows you to mount
immediately the access.</para>
<para>After you accepted the configuration with the radio button
<guibutton>Done</guibutton>, the first screen is displayed again and you
new mount point is listed. After you choose <guibutton>Quit</guibutton>,
you are asked whether or not to save the modifications in
<emphasis>/etc/fstab</emphasis>. Choose this option if you want that the
remote directory is available at each boot. If your configuration is for
one-time usage, do not save it.</para>
