I found a site with a webdav-enabled image gallery.
For the life of me, I cannot get gnome to mount it. This usually means I am missing something dead obvious.

I am using Ubuntu 11:04/64 classic (gnome).

Images are free use (color vision research pics from Botswana).
Site starts here: http://tofu.psych.upenn.edu/~upennidb/
Once in the gallery, there is a button "Mount with webDAV" which leads to a number of things that do not work at all.

'Click Here' gets you a file called Gallery.davmount that Firefox knows nothing about. The contents (xml with addresses) does anything for me. AFAIK a Winders thing.

The also say:
Alternatively, you can enter the following URL in your WebDAV client: http://tofu.psych.upenn.edu/~upennid...&g2_itemId=216

Hmmm. No (specific) webdav client here.

According to (their) docs in the Gallery Codex:
Open Nautilus. A.K.A. 'Places'
File > Connect to server
Select service type: WebDAV (HTTP)
Put in server url+path w/o http part.

I've tried these (with corresponding errors):

tofu.psych.upenn.edu/~upennidb/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=417 Error: Not a WebDAV enabled share

tofu.psych.upenn.edu/~upennidb/gallery2 Error: HTTP Error: Found

tofu.psych.upenn.edu/~upennidb/gallery2/main.php Error: Not a WebDAV enabled share

psych.upenn.edu/~upennidb/gallery2 Error: HTTP Error: Moved Permanently

http://tofu.psych.upenn.edu/~upennid...av&g2_itemId=7
It really hates that!

tofu.psych.upenn.edu/~upennidb/gallery2/main.php?g2_controller=webdav.WebDav&g2_itemId=7
Error: Not a WebDAV enabled share



I can use their catalog thing to select browse and select stuff. It wraps it up in a zip I can ftp. But browse - drag - drop... thats all I want. Maybe it just does not work.

I tried it using wdfs and the webdav:// in Konqueror, and neither worked. Both report that it's not a webdav enabled location. I know wdfs works, since I'm able to use it to mount my MobileME iDisk, and other webdav resources.

That said, on the opening page of your site, there is an FTP link. In Nautilus, Konqueror, and Dolphin, you can map a network drive, using FTP. I tested that using the FTP credentials (the location, user name of "anonymous", and the starting folder are all on the front page of your site), and it came right up. Could browse the folders, and drag/drop onto my local disk, which appears to be what you're after. It's not webdav, but for what you're wanting, it may be ok.
