I am trying to get additional functionality from a school website that can allow multiple file uploads/downloads via drag and drop between the site's Resources folders and my personal computer via a WebDAV client, versus downloading each individual file manually. However, this feature is only officially supported for Windows and Mac, or for 3rd-party clients for those operating systems. I would like to be able to use this feature with Ubuntu 11.04.
I have already taken a look at this question, but had no luck with its answer…probably because it never asks me for my school password, and I can't find a way to input one.
If there's a way to do this using what's already installed by default, or from some other application, please let me know.
UPDATE: When I try connecting through Nautilus, I get the following error message, regardless of whether I picked WebDAV (http) or Secure WebDAV (https):
And just to reiterate, at no point does it ever ask for my password.

In Nautilus (the file browser), select File > Connect to ... and select WebDAV. Enter the information you need, such as a host name, a directory, port and username. Check the box to create a bookmark, and you'll find it in your Files and Folder lense and in the left pane in Nautilus.
You'll be able to use your WebDAV share as if it were a local folder.
