    It’s not quite ftp but it seems similar. Cloud wise you’re restricted in AL as you can’t use dotnet. FTP requires that for on premise BC and it’s possible there. Restricted for use on cloud.

    You could therefore look at an azure function or use power automate. A client we had to do ftp for uses power automate.

    this is assuming you have already tried using the httpclient? WebDAV is an extension of http so a set of different headers. If those are supported you can try those.

    Hello @Josh,

    Thank you so much for you reply!

    It's clear to me that we can not connect Webdav directly from business central AL code.

    We need to pick any alternate approach to read file from Webdav.

    So i want to create a azure function that will read from webdav and function will integrate in Business Central using AL code.

    So my question are :-

    > Which type of azure function we need to use. any ref, link

    > How we can integrate azure function for get content of webdav.

    Thank You
