WebDAV
Contents
cadaver
cadaver is a FTP-like command-line client for connecting to WebDAV shares. To connect to a share, simply specify the URL as an argument to the cadaver command:
cadaver {{{shareurl}}}
You will be asked for your username and password. After connecting, you can issue standard FTP commands like ls, get, put, and delete. To disconnect, type exit.
davfs2
davfs2 is a file system driver that allows WebDAV shares to be mounted and treated as if they were local files. After installing davfs2 through your distribution's package manager, it is simple to mount a share to a directory. First, the directory must be created:
sudo mkdir /media/webdav
Now mount the directory:
sudo mount -t davfs {{{shareurl}}} /media/webdav
You will be asked for your username and password and the share will be mounted.
GVFS
Note: Some users have experienced problems with the WebDAV support in GVFS; caution should be exercised when making use of this feature.
GVFS provides support for WebDAV and connections can be made using Nautilus and other applications that use GVFS.
