cadaver

Name

cadaver - A command-line WebDAV client for Unix.

Synopsis

cadaver [-et][-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.

Options

-e, --expect100

Enable sending of 'Expect: 100-continue' header.

-t, --tolerant

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

-V, --version

Display version information and exit.

-h, --help

Display this help message and exit.
