Using DAVExplorer to Access the Repository Resources
To add or modify a resource, you must copy the resource to or from the repository using a WebDAV
tool. Using DavExplorer is an easy way to access the repository and the resources contained in the repository.
DAVExplorer is a freely available WebDAV client application. This software is available from
http://www.davexplorer.org.
Note:
DavExplorer is for Windows machines only. To access the repository, you must be on the same
machine where MapInfo Spatial Server and the repository are installed.
To get or add resources from the repository using DAVExplorer, use the following instructions:
Getting Resources From the Repository Using DAVExplorer

For example, enter localhost:8080/RepositoryService/repository/default/. (Note
that DAVExplorer prepends http:// automatically.)
If prompted, enter the admin/admin login name and password required to connect to the repository.
Once you are connected to the repository, a node for the repository appears in the treeview pane
on the left.
