Although the feature “Open remote files” has been around in LibreOffice for a while, I only got it working recently, at least for WebDAV. Success on remote files on Sharepoint is still on the horizon, maybe I will follow up with another post once I get that working.
In Writer, go to the menu File, select Open Remote File…
Click Add service
Select WebDAV from the dropdown menu
If the WebDAV url for your host is https://host.yourdomain.orgorg/remote.php/webdav, then fill in the details as follows:
(Selecting “Secure connection” should change the Port number to 443. If it does not change, change it manually.)
After clicking OK, a dialogue box should ask for your usernamen and password, which can be saved if you want to.
If your username and password are correct, the usual Open File dialogue will show but the content is of course your remote location.
To save the file in your webdav folder again, select “Save to Remote Server”. You can choose to overwrite your existing file or save as a different file.
