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

       -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.
