  • A crash while trying to view the contents of folders that the current user does not have permissions to access.

Also, Japanese localized versions of Goliath are available. Check it out at http://park.zero.ad.jp/pautha/Goliath.html

Description

Goliath is an application that creates and edits websites. It uses a technology called WebDAV (frequently called Web Folders) to make changes to the files stored on web servers. It was the first application to implement WebDAV on the Macintosh. Goliath exposes functionality similar to that found in the Windows version of Internet Explorer 5 plus many other features that are unique to the Mac.

With Goliath, users can:

  • View the contents of a web site in a Finder-like fashion (including size, modification date and type)
  • Upload new files to a website
  • Create new folders in web sites
  • Delete files and folders on a web site
  • Rename files on a web server
  • Download copies of files on a web server using Drag & Drop (including delete by dragging to the Trash)
  • Bookmark DAV resources for easy navigation
  • Lock and make changes to existing files on a web server (using the applications of their choice)
  • Display and editing of properties
  • Duplicate items stored on web servers
  • Native MacOSX support via Carbon.

Planned features for future versions of Goliath include:

  • Copy, and Move files and folders within a web site
  • DAV Searching (DASL)
  • AppleEvents scriptable
  • Future DAV initiatives (like DeltaV and ACL Support)

Goliath has been tested with a number of WebDAV servers. These include (alphabetically):

Please report any compatibility problems with other DAV server implementations.

As of this time, because of a family crisis and increased demands upon my time, I will be unable to respond to any e-mail regarding Goliath or WebDAV related issues. Any bugs submitted will be saved for a future date when I can resume work on Goliath.

Osx Webdav

The Mac integrates the WebDAV feature in the file system and many applications such as Finder create an enormous amount of file system operations. If not cached by the WebDAV client in the Mac operating system, these requests will be sent to the server, thus slowing down the WebDAV connection. CloudMounter for Mac OS X: map Dropbox as network drive, mount OneDrive, Google Drive and Amazon S3; FTP client and WebDAV client. Mount cloud drive on Mac and manage online files without the need to store them on a hard drive. Get the access to online data right from Mac Finder.

  1. Mac OS X Server supports WebDAV and allows iPhones/iPads to connect, store and retrieve files. While Mac OS X can access WebDAV servers from the Finder using 'Connect to Server' ( Command + K ) attempting to connect to the root of a Mac OS X server or any other assumed location results in an error.
  2. WebDAV with Mac OS X. Even without a special client installed, Mac OS X has WebDAV built into the Operating System. In the Go menu, of the Finder application, select Connect to Server. Type in your WebDAV URL in as the Server Address.
