Access problems when using ZotPad with Webdav

Hi all,

I finally got myself an iPad which I hope will be more convenient for reading papers in PDF format. However, I am having problems synching my existing Zotero library to the ipad. I am using ZotPad and for storage I have a WebDav account set up. In the zotpad settings, I have added the URL to the webdav account, but there doesn't seem to be a place to enter username and password for the webdav account. So, when I try to open a PDF in ZotPad, I get an error "Download failed". It then gives me the option to open the file in Safari, where I can see a zip file, strangely enough. The webdav account is set up alright in Zotero and am able to verify the server.

Any idea what's going on? Has anyone successfully set up ZotPad based on Webdav with username and password?

Cheers,

Martin
  • PS: I have now tried to switch to Zotero native storage and here the synch works fine. I can open the papers in Zotpad. However, I'd rather use my existing webdav storage, because it is not as limited as the Zotero storage space.
