- Go to Rainlendar's calendar options and create new Network Shared Calendar.
- Paste the URL from the clipboard into the URL field. The username and password fields can be left empty.

iCal Exchange*
- Go to http://icalexchange.com and login (or create a new account).
- In the bottom of the webpage you'll see two urls: private and public.
- Go to Rainlendar's calendar options and create new Network Shared Calendar.
- In the URL-field write your private url with some ics-file (you can use any name you want). E.g. http://icalx.com/private/rainy/mycal.ics
- In the Username write your iCal Exchange login name.
- In the Password write your iCal Exchange password.
- You can leave the rest of the fields like they are.
- Click OK, wait a while and you should get 404 error.
- Ignore that.
- Create a new event and select the new calendar that you just created for it.
- Click OK, wait a while and you should get 404 error.
- Ignore that too :-)
- You shouldn't get any 404-errors after this.
- You can now start to use the calendar.

Note: The 404 errors are shown because the file does not exists yet. When the calendar is created in Rainlendar it tries to download it from the server. This gives the first error. The second error comes when you create the first event as the plugin will first download the file from the server, add the new event to it and upload it back.

Custom WebDAV server*

If you don't like the idea of sending your events to some unknown server on the Internet you can also set up a WebDAV server yourself too.

Linux: There are plenty of tutorials in the Internet how to install and set up a WebDAV server. For Ubuntu users you can for example check this HOWTO from the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119228

Windows: If you run Apache the WebDAV installation process is similar as with Linux. The Microsoft's IIS supports also WebDAV so you can consult its documentation for installation details.

After you have set up the server just configure the Network Shared Calendar to use the URL for your server's WebDAV folder. If you configured the server to require authentication remember to fill in you user name and password too. Note that if you are creating a new calendar file you'll get couple of 404 errors the first time you access the server. You can just ignore those.
 


* Note that the network calendar support is available only in the Pro version of Rainlendar.
