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

SYNOPSIS
     cadaver [-trp[-r file][-p host[:port]]][-V][-h] URL

DESCRIPTION
     cadaver supports file upload, download, on-screen display, namespace opera-
     tions (move and copy), collection creation and deletion, and locking opera-
     tions.

     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 authentica-
     tion via a .netrc file (similar to ftp(1) - see section "THE  .netrc  FILE"
     below).

OPTIONS
     The URL passed must be an absolute URI using the http: or https URL scheme.

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 new-
     lines) 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://myserver.example.com/
	    Connects  to  the server myserver.example.com, opening the root col-
	    lection.

     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.
