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:

  • Another dialog box will query your user name and password for Microsoft Frontpage Server Extension (press Escape).
