<h3 id="test">Test</h3>
<p>After successful installation you can test dav with your WebDAV server.</p>
<pre><code>dav list http://example.com/webdav/</code></pre>
<p>This lists all child resources of the specified collection. 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>
