NAME

6       cadaver - A command-line WebDAV client for Unix.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cadaver    [-trp[-r    file][-p    host[:port]]][-V][-h]   http://host‐
10       name[:port]/path
11

DESCRIPTION

13       cadaver supports file upload, download,  on-screen  display,  namespace
14       operations (move and copy), collection creation and deletion, and lock‐
15       ing operations.
16
17       Its operation is similar to the standard  BSD  ftp(1)  client  and  the
18       Samba  Project's smbclient(1).  A user familiar with these tools should
19       be quite comfortable with cadaver.
20
21       cadaver supports automatically logging in to servers requiring  authen‐
22       tication via a .netrc file (similar to ftp(1) - see section "THE .netrc
23       FILE" below).

THE .netrc FILE

142       The file ~/.netrc may be  used  to  automatically  login  to  a  server
143       requiring  authentication.  The  following tokens (separated by spaces,
144       tabs or newlines) may be used:
145
146       machine host
147              Identify a remote machine host which is compared with the  host‐
148              name  given  on  the  command line or as an argument to the open
149              command.  Any subsequent tokens up to the end  of  file  or  the
150              next machine or default token are associated with this entry.
151
152       default
153              This  is  equivalent  to the machine token but matches any host‐
154              name. Only one default token may be used and it  must  be  after
155              all machine tokens.
156
157       login username
158              Specifies  the  username  to  use  when logging in to the remote
159              machine.
160
161       password string
162       passwd string
163              Specifies the password to use when  logging  in  to  the  remote
164              machine.
165
166       Any other tokens (as described in ftp(1)) are ignored.
