Using WebDAV in Linux

 There are multiple methods of connecting to a WebDAV server from a Linux environment.   Two methods are described here.

GNOME Desktop

The GNOME desktop is the default for Scientific Linux at TRIUMF and has a built-in WebDAV client.

From the menu-bard choose

Places -> Connect to Server

Enter the following settings:

  • Service Type: Secure WebDAV (HTTPS)
  • Server: <site-name>.triumf.ca/dav
  • User Name: <Your TRIUMF e-mail account-name>
  • Password: <Your TRIUMF e-mail password>

Cadaver Command-line client

This is similar to a command-line ftp client and can be used to transfer files to and from the server, but not to edit them in place.  nitiate the connection with:

cadaver https://<site-name>.triumf.ca/dav

Accept the certificate if prompted and enter your TRIUMF e-mail credentials.
