# Mount a Remote Share Using WebDAV

Mapping the PC to the edge filer enables access to the files using a file manager. When the edge filer is remote, the connection is via a CTERA Portal, so the edge filer must be connected to a portal.

1. Open Windows Explorer and right-click **This PC**.
2. Select **Map network drive**.
3. Choose a drive letter from the **Drive** drop-down enter your local edge filer IP address in the **Folder** field, with the following syntax: `https://portal.portaldomain.suffix/devices/Device_Name/webdav/Share_Name`, where portal.portaldomain.suffix is the full Portal name and Share_Name is the Share name.
4. Check **Connect using different credentials**.
5. Click **Finish**.
6. In Windows Explorer, click the drive letter for the share.
7. Enter the credentials for the edge filer for the user set up in the edge filer.
8. Click **OK**.

File Explorer is refreshed with the shares in the remote edge filer.

1. Open Finder, click **Go** and select Connect to server.
2. Enter your local edge filer IP address in the Server address field, with the following syntax:  `https://portal.portaldomain.suffix/devices/Device_Name/webdav/Share_Name`, where portal.portaldomain.suffix is the full portal name, and Share_Name is the share name.
