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

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.
