If you are unfamiliar to WebDAV terminology this means basically listing all files in a directory, similar to the ls unix tool. Actually you can also write <code>dav ls</code> instead of <code>dav list</code> and there is also an <code>-l</code> option similarly to the unix tool <code>ls</code>.</p> <h3 id="create-a-repository">Create a repository</h3> <p>All dav commands are expecting an url argument, but it may be a bit cumbersome to type a full url every time. But you can configure a repository in the dav configuration file ($HOME/.dav/config.xml) with the servers url, optional authentication information and other options. Afterwards you can access a webdav server just with the repository name and an optional path.</p> <p>So when you have created a repository with the name myserv and the url http://example.com/webdav/, you can just type</p> <pre><code>dav list myserv</code></pre> <p>You can add a path to the repository name to access an other url</p> <pre><code>dav list myserv/mycollection/</code></pre> <p>This lists the content of http://example.com/webdav/mycollection/</p> <p>The easiest way to create a repository is with the add-repository command. This is a simple configuration assistant.</p> <pre><code>$ dav add-repository Each repository must have an unique name. name: myserv Specify the repository base url. url: http://example.com/webdav/ User for HTTP authentication. user (optional): myuser password (optional): Added repository: myserv (http://example.com/webdav/)</code></pre> <p>You can also configure the config.xml yourself, check out <a href="./configuration.html">the config.xml spec</a>.</p> </div> <!-- end content --> </body> </html>
