3. Select an available Drive, such as E:, on your local computer.
4. Choose "WebDAV" for the Server type from the drop down menu, then click Next.
5. Type the URL provided to you by the media administrator (e.g., https://dav.webhosting.umd.edu/streamingmedia/academic/ your folder) into the "Enter the URL for the Server" box in order to connect to your file storage area on the server; click Next.
   
   
6. Choose "No Certificate" from the Certificate Settings window and click Next.
