6 cadaver - A command-line WebDAV client for Unix.
7
9 cadaver [-trp[-r file][-p host[:port]]][-V][-h] http://host‐
10 name[:port]/path
11
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).

27 Allow cd/open into non-WebDAV enabled collection; use if the
28 server or proxy server has WebDAV compliance problems.

30 -r, --rcfile=file
31 Use this rcfile rather than the default of ~/.cadaverrc
32
33 -p, --proxy=host[:port]

35 "port".

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.
167
169 cadaver http://dav.example.com/
170 Connects to the server myserver.example.com, opening the root
171 collection.
172
173 cadaver http://zope.example.com:8022/Users/fred/
174 Connects to the server zope.example.com using port 8022, opening
175 the collection "/Users/fred/".
176
177 cadaver https://secure.example.com/
178 Connects to a server called secure.example.com using SSL.
179
181 ~/.cadaverrc
182 Individual user settings that can override cadaver defaults and
183 to script cadaver. Can be changed by the "--rcfile" option.
184
185 ~/.netrc

187 process. See section "THE .netrc FILE" for details.
