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

SYNOPSIS
       cadaver [-et][-V][-h] http://hostname[:port]/path

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

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 newlines) 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://dav.example.com/
              Connects to the server myserver.example.com,  open-
              ing 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.

       ~/.netrc
              Login and initialization information  used  by  the
              auto-login  process.  See section "THE .netrc FILE"
