=Connect to Scholar WebDAV=
The Scholar site for students taking classes has an option for connecting to the web directory to download the resources uploaded by the teacher and site administrators. To connect, it's very simple and it makes an easy way to keep all your class resources up to date and provides an great way to copy multiple files to your computer at one time.

Notice the link called "Upload-Download Multiple Resources". This is the link you will click that takes you to a page with the server information you will need to connect to the remote directory. The page also includes instructions for setting the WebDAV link up on Windows and Mac computers, but not Linux, so you can ignore pretty much everything beneath the URL to the server. You will see a part that gives you a "SiteID". This "SiteID" is the unique part of the server URL that allows you to connect to it with your Virginia Tech PID.
Now, the most important part of this page is the server URL. You can find it under the part that says "To access the resources in this site through a WebDAV client, you will use the following URL:"
That URL will look like this (substitute your own SiteID for the [SiteID]):
<pre> https://scholar.vt.edu/dav/[SiteID] </pre>
*Note* We will only want the part AFTER the "https://" because otherwise, your WebDAV client may give you an error. I will be using Nautilus, the standard file manager in Ubuntu, seeing as this the Ubuntu section.
Ok, now that I have set up the information here come the steps.
1) Open Nautilus and click File) -> Connect to Server...
2) Select "Secure WebDAV (HTTPS)" from the "service type" drop down box.
3) Put in your server info minus the "https://"
4) Put your PID in.
5) Add a bookmark if you'd like
6) Click "Connect".
7) Put in your Scholar password, and your done!
