You can use the cd command or the chdir command to change to a subfolder of a WebDAV shared folder even though the subfolder does not exist in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You use the net use command to connect to a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) shared folder that is hosted on a server that is running Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. You connect to the WebDAV shared folder as a user who does not have administrator permissions to the site. For example, you connect as a user who has the Read permission. After you connect to the WebDAV shared folder, you use the cd command or the chdir command to change to a subfolder. You notice that you can change to a subfolder even though the subfolder does not exist. When you experience this symptom, you receive the following message at the command prompt:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
The "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" message incorrectly indicates that the subfolder is a valid subfolder even though it does not exist. You expect to receive a message that resembles the following at the command prompt:
The network name cannot be found

CAUSE

In Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, the PROPFIND method returns an "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" message for subfolders of the root folder. Therefore, even though a subfolder does not exist, you receive the message that states that the folder exists.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
