MMVL has a webdav server for exchanging files. The files will be accessible by MMVL and its partners only. Please create directories, if you want to upload a bunch of files.
There are different methods to access the webdav-server:

You can use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher (see here for troubleshooting and different Windows versions). I doesn't work with Windows 2000 and some versions of Windows XP however, because they'll refuse to work without Microsoft Frontpage Server extension.

- Type in the fully-qualified URL http://vision.eng.shu.ac.uk/dav/
- Select the Open as Web Folder checkbox
- Click the OK button
- A dialog box for http authentification opens. Enter your user name and password.
- Another dialog box will query your user name and password for Microsoft Frontpage Server Extension (press Escape).
- A third dialog box for webdav authentification opens. Enter your user name and password again.
- Now the file-browser should display the webdav-folder. You can copy files with drag-and-drop.

- A dialog box will query your user name and password.
- Click on http://vision.eng.shu.ac.uk/dav in the tree view.
- You can upload or download files by selecting File => Write File or File => Get File.
