As a complement to working in EPiServer CMS File Manager, you can also manage your documents and images from Microsoft Windows Explorer. This is made possible using the so called WebDAV technique. You can create, copy, move and delete files in EPiServer CMS file system by working directly in Windows Explorer. You can also save new documents in EPiServer CMS file system from an application such as Word.
Before you begin managing your files from Windows Explorer, your website must be connected to Windows Explorer as a network unit. The connection can be set up in different ways. If this does not take place automatically when you log in, you must do it manually in Windows Explorer. Check with your system administrator to find out what applies to your website. More information can also be found in the technical documentation on world.episerver.com.
When your website is connected, you will see it as a network unit in the file structure in Windows Explorer. You can now create files in the Office programs and save them in the file structure on your website without needing to open EPiServer CMS first and uploading them in the File Manager there.
