Windows – Is it possible to create a symlink to a webdav directory on Windows

mklinksymbolic-linkwebdavwindows

I know I can map a webdav folder to a drive letter in Windows, but I need to map ~10 different webdav folders (different servers) and assigning a drive letter would be ugly.

Is it somehow possible to create the links as a folder structure, for example by using mklink?

I have tried several combinations (/d, /H, /J flag + https://webdav.server.com/… or \\webdav.server.com@SSL\…) without success. Most of the combinations lead to a virtual folder which when opened loads quite some time (as when the webdav is mapped to a drive), but then fails with similar error messages saying that it is not accessible.

Unfortunately symbolic links in NTFS can only point to locally mounted file systems and network shares via UNC paths: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/aa363878(v=vs.85).aspx

Apparently this guy has a trick to mount a folder to a WebDAV destination though: https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-36105.html
