title: 'dav list'
---
**`dav list [-altdepcR] [-u <date>] <url>`**
Lists child resources of the specified collection. Without any option it
shows only the direct children and hides files beginning with a dot.
The behavior is quite similar to that of the unix tool `ls`.
Options
-------
**`-a`** don't hide files whose names begin with a dot `.`
**`-l`** show additional information for resources
Example:
-- 4.2 KiB Oct 11 2015 somefile
The first column contains to fields for flags.
1. Field: `d-` indicates a collection
2. Field: `-c` indicates an encrypted resource
Encrypted collections are also possible, but only the collection name is encrypted, the content may be unencrypted.
The second column in the `list -l` output is the resource size. The number has always a suffix (bytes, KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB). To get the exact content-length in bytes you can use the [dav info][1] command.
[1]: ./info.html
The third column is the date of the last modification. The `strftime` format is `%b %d %H:%M` if the year is the current year. Otherwise the format is `%b %d %Y`.
The last column is the resource name. If the `-R` option is specified, the resource path is shown.
**`-t`** this options only works in combination with `-l` and it adds the resource content type to the output (after the flags)
**`-d`** order resources by their lastmodified date
**`-e`** similar to `-l`, but with 6 flag fields. Currently only the first 4 fields are used. The last two are reserved for future use.
1. Field: `d---` indicates a collection
2. Field: `-c--` indicates an encrypted resource
3. Field: `--l-` indicates a locked resource
4. Field: `---x` indicates an executable resource (executable property with http://apache.org/dav/props/ namespace)
All combinations of these four flags are possible.
**`-p`** disable file name and path decryption if enabled
**`-c`** enable file name and path decryption
**`-R`** recursively show all resources in the collection and all child collections
**`-u <date>`** show only resources with a `lastmodified` date after the specified
date. Uses the HTTP date format.
**Command alias:** ls
