NAME
       cadaver - A command-line	WebDAV client for Unix.

SYNOPSIS
       cadaver	  [-trp[-r    file][-p	  host[:port]]][-V][-h]	  http://host-
       name[:port]/path

DESCRIPTION
       cadaver supports	file upload, download,	on-screen  display,  namespace
       operations (move	and copy), collection creation and deletion, and lock-
       ing 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 authen-
       tication	via a .netrc file (similar to ftp(1) - see section "THE	.netrc
       FILE" below).

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

       -r, --rcfile=file
	      Use this rcfile rather than the default of ~/.cadaverrc

       -p, --proxy=host[:port]
	      Connect  using  the  proxy  host	"host" and optional proxy port
	      "port".

       -V, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

THE .netrc FILE
       The file	~/.netrc may be	used to	automatically login to	a  server  re-
       quiring 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 host-
	      name 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	 host-
	      name.  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  ma-
	      chine.

       password	string
       passwd string
	      Specifies	 the password to use when logging in to	the remote ma-
	      chine.

       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.
