cadaver(1)

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 ftp(1) client and the Samba Project's 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 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, --version
    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 next machine 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 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

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