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.

              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

       ~/.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.
