Managing files with WebDAV (Photoshop)
Photoshop supports the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) server
technology. Using this technology, you can connect to a WebDAV server, download and
upload files, lock files so others cannot work on them at the same time as you, and add
additional files (called
assets
) to the server. Use a WebDAV server to work in a collaborative
environment without fear that files will be accidentally overwritten or updates lost.
About workgroup management
When working in a collaborative environment, users must share files. The process of
passing files from one collaborator to another involves working with a
workgroup
.
Controlling the hand-off—so that only one person can edit a file at any given time—
is called
workgroup management
.
A WebDAV server provides workgroup management via the Web. When a file is managed
by a WebDAV server, multiple users can download copies of the file, but only one user at a
time can
check out
the file. The user who checks out the file can share his or her work with
other users by updating the file on the server; however, other users can’t make changes to
the managed file until it is checked in. This check out/check in system allows multiple
users to access the same file but prevents users from overwriting each other’s work.
Getting started with workgroup management
To use the workgroup management features in Photoshop, you must be able to connect
to a WebDAV server. You can find detailed information and the latest news about WebDAV
at www.webdav.org.
Important:
Firewall software can interfere with the process of connecting to a WebDAV
server. Check with your system administrator or refer to your firewall software documen-
tation for information about setting options to access outside servers.
You can also set preferences to determine whether or not the Workgroup pop-up
menu
appears and the default behavior for checking out and updating files.
To set up a server for use with Photoshop:
1
Choose File > Workgroup > Workgroup Servers.
