Its like iDisk but free! I love it!
But is there any way to change the name instead of “dav”?

in transmit

server = http://www.box.net
username= your email address you signed up as
password = your password you signed up as

tricky part..
Protocol= WebDAV
remote path= dav

and that should be it.. that what i did to get it to work… hope it works for u!!

With transmit being soo much quicker grab a transmit widget, configure it for your box.net favourite and you’re away – just invoke the dash whilst dragging (web friendly named files).

Some concerns about having to use HTTP rather than HTTPS howver

I had trouble connecting using just https://box.net/dav, instead, I entered http://www.box.net/dav and entered my info and then it worked fine. Thanks!

I tried using the WebDav support in Transmit, and it was lightning fast compared with OS X – much more like FTP (free box.net account, so http rather than https – tried https and it didn’t work).

It’s interesting to see that the support in Transmit for WebDav is so much faster than what’s built into OS X. I wonder why.

It works here, although I had to use http instead of https.

I’m on OS 10.4.8.

I keep getting an error code -50 when atemptingto log in from the finder. I am guessing that it must be an issue with my ISP? router? firewall? network services… ??
