Installing and Using Goliath in MacOS Classic

Installation

Using a web browser, go to: http://www.webdav.org/goliath/ and select the downloads link. On the downloads page that appears, select the download for Classic MacOS.

Locate the Goliath installer you downloaded and open it.

Click anywhere on the screen that appears.

Choose Continue in the next screen that appears.

Read the license in the installer and choose Accept if you agree, otherwise do not continue with this process.

Print or Save the ReadMe file if you would like. Then choose Continue in the ReadMe window.

Select a different install location or leave the default depending on how your system is set up. Choose the Install button in the Goliath 1.0 installer window to start the install.

Using Goliath

After installing Goliath, a folder will appear on your hard drive (selected as the Install Location) containing the program.

Open the Goliath 1.0 program in the folder.

In the new WebDav Connection window that appears enter in the URL field: *https://avalon-dav.bethel.edu/Home(first letter of your username capitalized)/(your user name)/. Make sure the H in Home and the first letter of your username in your home share are capitalized. Enter BU\(your username) and your password in the appropriate fields. See the illustration to the right and take note of the red text because you will replace it with your information. Do not* enter BU\restest for your username. Choose OK.

A window will appear asking you to install a certificate. Place a check next to Install Certificate and choose OK.

Your home folder should now be opened. Using this interface you will be able to copy files between Avalon and your computer as you would using other finder windows.

Saving the Connection

Please note that saving your connection saves your password in an insecure format on the computer you are using. While ITS cannot recommend doing so, saving the connection may be desired on a computer which is secure and only used by you.

To save the connection, go to the File menu and select Save Connection. In the Window that appears name the connection Avalon and save it to your desktop. In the future, you will only need to Open the Avalon icon to access your home folder.
