Artifactory supports WebDAV shares. You can mount a local or cached repository as a secure WebDAV share and make it accessible from any WebDAV-supporting file manager. Access a secure WebDAV-share by referencing the URL of the target repository as follows:
http://<HOST>:<PORT>/artifactory/<REPO_KEY>
File Locking in WebDAV
When deploying a file through WebDAV where file locking is enabled, the Artifactory log may display the following message:
"Received unsupported request method: lock"
In some cases, you can solve this issue by disabling file locking before mounting the repository. This process is done differently for each WebDAV client. For example, for davfs2 file locking is disabled with this command:
echo "use_locks 0" >> /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf
Note
While for some clients file locking is disabled by default, it may not be possible to disable file locking in all clients.
