Browse the DocMoto repository from an iPad

DocMoto is a WebDAV server at heart, and you can browse its repository with WebDAV compliant software.

In this article we show you how to browse the DocMoto repository from an iPad using the GoodReader or Documents applications.

If you want to browse a repository externally, whilst on the move, you will need to ensure that you have the correct firewall settings to allow GoodReader or Documents to access your repository.

Choosing port numbers

The DocMoto client connects (by default) on port 3983 (standard) and port 3984 (secure, SSL).

When connecting using a third party application these ports are OK for file vewing. However if you want files to be updatable then you should connect (by default) on port 4983 (standard) or port 4984 (secure, SSL).

Note, third party applications DO NOT support check-out, tagging or searching.

Setting up a Documents connection

1. Open Documents and select Network
2. Select Add Storage - and choose WebDAV Server.
3. Add a Title - for example "DocMoto".

4. Add a URL - enter the server name, IP address or domain name of the DocMoto server followed by the port number.

   Use port 3983, 4983 for standard connection, 3984, 4984 for secure connections.

   For example http://192.168.2.4:3983 for a standard connection, or https://192.168.2.4:3984 for a secure connection.

5. Add a Login - enter your DocMoto user name.
6. Enter a Password - enter your DocMoto password.
7. Press "Save" button at the top and you should now see your connection in the list of Added Storage.
