WebDAV FAQ: Sharing Typing Test Data Between Devices in Real Time 

This guide explains how to arrange a typing test using one Teacher / Test Controller device and one or more Candidate devices. Make sure to follow the video tutorial step by step for smooth setup.

1. What do I need to start?

• A Teacher device with the Ultimate Typing Coach “Teacher version” installed.

• One or more Candidate devices with the Ultimate Typing Coach client installed.

• A network connection allowing devices to communicate.

2. How do I find the Teacher device IP?

1. Open Command Prompt on the Teacher device.

2. Type:

3. ipconfig
   

4. Look for the IPv4 Address under the network adapter you are using (usually something like 192.168.x.x).

5. Note this IP – you will need it for the Candidate device to connect.

3.  Follow the video

This step-by-step video guide covers:

• Installing Ultimate Typing Coach with the User Manager Tool

• Starting a WebDAV server using Rclone

• Connecting Candidate devices to the typing test

• Running a demo typing test with a 2-minute limit

• Receiving and viewing the typing test results on the User Manager Tool

4. How do I start the WebDAV server?

1. Open Command Prompt and navigate to the folder where you installed Ultimate Typing Coach 
   (e.g., C:\Temp\ultimatecoach).

2. Please create there a new blank sub-folder for sharing the data between all devices, e.g. "webshare"

3. Run the following command:

4. rclone serve webdav ./webshare --addr 192.168.x.x:8080 --user test --pass anypassword
   

   • ./webshare = the folder to share, please create a blank folder for this purpose inside the installation folder

   • 192.168.x.x:8080 = Teacher Device IP and port used by WebDAV

   • --user and --pass = a new credentials for Candidates

5. The server is now running and ready to accept connections from both User Manager and Candidate devices.

NOTE: WebDav server does not autostart when Windows is restarted, to autostart  Use Task Scheduler:

1. Open Task Scheduler
2. Create Basic Task
3. Trigger: At startup
4. Action: Start a program
5. Program:  Give exactly same command as above, but with the full path:
   c:\myinstallfolder\rclone.exe serve webdav c:\myinstallfolder\webshare --addr 192.168.x.x:8080 --user test --pass anypassword

5. How do Candidate devices connect to teacher's device?

1. Install Ultimate Typing Coach on the Candidate device

   • During installation, uncheck the User Manager Tool.

   • Select Data Sync → Cloud Sync (WebDAV) to connect devices to the Teacher’s device. 

2. Configure connection to Teacher device

   • Enter the Teacher device’s IP address and port (8080) in the WebDAV settings.

   • Enter the username and password you configured on the Teacher device.

   • Click TEST CONNECTION to verify that the connection works.

3. Start the typing test

   • Follow the instructions in the software to begin the typing test.

6. Important Notes

• Follow the video step by step; skipping steps may prevent the devices from connecting.

• Make sure the firewall on the Teacher device allows incoming connections on port 8080.

• For multiple candidates, repeat the connection process on each device.

• The demo version of the typing test may limit test time to 2 minutes.

This FAQ ensures you can quickly set up a test session without confusion, using WebDAV to share the typing test files between devices.
