Issue:
Finder will not refresh the contents of a folder automatically.
Solution:
Unknown.
Workaround:
If the webdav share is navigated to via the Terminal (/Volumes/webdav ), the command-line client will refresh, after which the GUI will update.
Issue:
Filenames or directories with non-ASCII characters seem to simply disappear when accessed with the Mac Webdavfs client. There are no complaints from the client, they simply do not show up.
Solution:
Unknown.
Workaround:
Check the filename for non-ASCII characters and use a 'safe' alternative. In the case of Confluence, we use a '$[page id]" name, which is then resolved back to the concrete page by the WebDAV servlet. This may not be feasible in all situations, however.
