In Nautilus from Gnome 3, the Connect to Server dialog is missing the Type field.
How can I establish a WebDAV connection?

1Hi. Could you please tell us what version of Ubuntu you are using and maybe provide a screenshot of the Connect to Server dialog? This would greatly help us figuring out what's going on. Thanks!– Andrea CorbelliniDec 27, 2012 at 14:28

In the Server Address field type the following:
davs://user@host.name/path
The user@ and path parts are of course optional, so, if needed, you can just type:
davs://host.name/
If you need, you may provide a password as well:
davs://user:password@host.name/path

16Thanks for your answer. Such a stupid UI which does not even give a hint which URLs are supported. Used to be much better with the combo box for selection in Gnome 2.– eudoxosJul 8, 2013 at 7:17

I'm embarrassed to say how long I've been fighting with this, only to find I was missing that trailing slash after host.name. Thanks.– MarcJul 15, 2014 at 2:08

1The help for this in Nautilus is also not helpful because it says to use http:// or https:// for WebDAV– mjaggardAug 27, 2015 at 8:01

I'm using ubuntu 12.04, and this simply does not seem to work. It's returning 403: FORBIDDEN all the time.– jjmereloDec 26, 2018 at 17:38

1@jjmerelo: you might need to authenticate. By the way, please note that 12.04 was released more than 6 years ago and it's EOL now Dec 26, 2018 at 22:32
If someone is getting the error "SSL Handshake Failed", then exclude the "s" from davs since we are not using SSL i.e.
dav://user@hostname:port/path
This took me a while to figure out so hopefully this helps some people out there :).
