For those Mac users who have switched to, or are trying out, Ubuntu Linux, here’s how to connect to your iDisk:
Step One: Go to Places -> Connect to Server (from the top panelbar)
Step Two: Set the Service Type to “WebDav”.
Step Three: Enter “idisk.mac.com” as the Server.
Step Four: Enter your .Mac username in both the “Folder” and “Username” boxes.
Step Five: Hit “Connect”. A folder should appear on your desktop called “idisk.mac.com”. Double-click the folder, and enter your .Mac account password when prompted.
That’s it! You can access your entire iDisk from that folder on your desktop. When you’re done, just right-click on the folder and choose “Unmount Volume” to Disconnect.

Very usefull but it does not connect: it asks me autentication bot it does not connect to idisk as i wrote a wrong password (impossible)..

Luca: I just re-verified that this works from my home laptop using Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). Did you double-check you entered your password correctly? Or, in Step Four, did you enter your username in the Folder and Username boxes, leaving out the trailing “@mac.com” that would normally go there?

this is what mine shows after i click on the desktop icon “Not a WebDAV enabled share”, it does not ask for a password, it just shows that window. i’m running ubuntu 9.04. I’m also trying through an unsecured network in the campus library, if that helps pin-point the problem.
thanks

Worked for me, but only in WebDav, secure webdav doesn’t work. Does that mean all my files are zipping around without an encrypted tunnel?
