NAME

cadaver - A command-line WebDAV client for Unix.

SYNOPSIS

cadaver [-trp[-r file][-p host[:port]]][-V][-h] http://hostname[:port]/path

DESCRIPTION

cadaver supports file upload, download, on-screen display, namespace operations (move and copy), collection creation and deletion, and locking operations.

Its operation is similar to the standard BSD [man:/ftp(1) ftp](1) client and the Samba Project's [man:/smbclient(1) smbclient](1). A user familiar with these tools should be quite comfortable with cadaver.

cadaver supports automatically logging in to servers requiring authentication via a .netrc file (similar to [man:/ftp(1) ftp](1) - see section "THE .netrc FILE" below).

OPTIONS

-t, --tolerant

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

-r, --rcfile=file

Use this rcfile rather than the default of ~/.cadaverrc

-p, --proxy=host[:port]

Connect using the proxy host "host" and optional proxy port "port".

-V, --versio

Display version information and exit.

-h, --help

Display this help message and exit.

THE .netrc FILE

The file ~/.netrc may be used to automatically login to a server requiring authentication. The following tokens (separated by spaces, tabs or newlines) may be used:

machine host

Identify a remote machine host which is compared with the hostname given on the command line or as an argument to the open command. Any subsequent tokens up to the end of file or the nextmachine or default token are associated with this entry.

default

This is equivalent to the machine token but matches any hostname. Only one default token may be used and it must be after all machine tokens.

login username

Specifies the username to use when logging in to the remote machine.

password string passwd string

Specifies the password to use when logging in to the remote machine.

Any other tokens (as described in [man:/ftp(1) ftp](1)) are ignored.

EXAMPLES

cadaver http://dav.example.com/

Connects to the server myserver.example.com, opening the root collection.

cadaver http://zope.example.com:8022/Users/fred/

Connects to the server zope.example.com using port 8022, opening the collection "/Users/fred/".

cadaver https://secure.example.com/

Connects to a server called secure.example.com using SSL.

FILES

~/.cadaverrc

Individual user settings that can override cadaver defaults and to script cadaver. Can be changed by the "--rcfile" option.

~/.netrc

Login and initialization information used by the auto-login process. See section "THE .netrc FILE" for details.
