Syntax
Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
Attribute |
Description |
|---|---|
allowHiddenFiles |
Optional Boolean attribute. true if WebDAV will display hidden files in the responses to property requests; otherwise, false. Note Even though files may be hidden from property requests, they can still be requested directly. For example, if you hid the Web.config file for your Web site, it would not be displayed in directory listings, but you could still open the file in a WebDAV-based editor if you knew that the path existed. The default value is false. |
useTransactionalIo |
Optional Boolean attribute. The useTransactionalIo attribute specifies whether file operations should be transactional. For example, transactional processing helps to define what a server's behavior should be if a client sends a MOVE request for a series of files and the destination runs out of storage space before the entire operation has completed. With transactional processing enabled, the entire operation should fail. When transactional processing is disabled, the operation will only partially succeed and files will be distributed between the source and destination. When set to false, the WebDAV module will not enforce any form of transactional processing. When set to true, the WebDAV module will enforce transactional processing by failing the operation if the base file system cannot transactions. The default value is false. |
hideChildVirtualDirectories |
Optional Boolean attribute. true if virtual directories are hidden from WebDAV requests; otherwise, false. Note This attribute was added in WebDAV 7.5 and IIS 7.5. The default value is false. |
