In this tutorial we will learn how to mount a WebDAV share as a remote network drive on Mac OS X. The setup on a Mac is quick and easy as compared to a Windows machine. To learn how to do this on windows, read my blog on Mounting a WebDAV share on Windows 7.
Caution:
In order to create a secure connection to your WebDAV share, make sure you use https:// instead of http:// in your WebDAV address!
