Webdav client on windows

Windows operating system has in-built WebDAV client called webclient service to access WebDAV folders. This webclient service pitches in whenever we try to access a WebDAV folder.  We can access a WebDAV folder in the following ways.
  1. Using 'Net use'
Using net use command we can access WebDAV folders exactly in the same way we access SMB shares. Suppose we have a DAV folder DAVShare on a server Dataserver. Then we can access it using the below command.
Net use * \\Dataserver\DAVShare /u:domainname\username password
  1. Using Web Browser
WebDAV is nothing but an extension to HTTP protocol. So almost all the browsers have the capability to interact with WebDAV Folders. We can mention the path of the WebDAV folder in the browser address bar and open it like any http URL.
