Nextcloud

Nextcloud is one of the most common WebDAV-based storage and collaboration platforms. AeroFTP includes a dedicated Nextcloud preset that fills the expected WebDAV path automatically.

Why Use AeroFTP with Nextcloud

• Desktop file management for self-hosted or managed Nextcloud instances
• Dual-pane browsing, transfer queue, and saved profiles
• No need to manually remember the standard WebDAV path every time
• Good fit for self-hosted file access without relying on a browser UI

Standard Nextcloud WebDAV Path

The usual Nextcloud WebDAV path is:

/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/

Replace USERNAME with your exact Nextcloud login name.

How to Connect

1. Open AeroFTP.
2. Select Nextcloud from the WebDAV presets.
3. Enter your Nextcloud server hostname.
4. Replace USERNAME in the path with your real login name.
5. Enter your username.
6. Enter a password or, preferably, an app password.
7. Connect and save the profile.

Recommended Defaults

• protocol: WebDAV over HTTPS
• path: /remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/
• use an app password if your server has 2FA enabled

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Solution
401 Unauthorized	Wrong credentials or wrong username in the path	Check both the login credentials and the path username
404 Not Found	Wrong WebDAV path	Use the standard Nextcloud path shown above
2FA login fails	Main password used instead of app password	Generate an app password in Nextcloud security settings
