This article has an accompanying video.

DocMoto is a WebDAV server at heart, and you can browse its repository with WebDAV compliant software.

In this article we show you how to browse the DocMoto repository from an iPad using the GoodReader or WebDAV Nav applications.

If you want to browse a repository externally, whilst on the move, you will need to ensure that you have the correct firewall settings to allow GoodReader or WebDAV Nav to access your repository.

   • URL-address - enter the server name, IP address or domain name of the DocMoto server followed by the port number. Use port 3983 for standard connection, 3984 for secure connections.
     
     For example http://192.168.2.4:3983 for a standard connection, or https://192.168.2.4:3984 for a secure connection.

   • Password - enter your DocMoto password.
