NAME

dave -- DAV Explorer

SYNOPSIS

dave [OPTIONS] URL

E.g.

    $ dave -u pcollins -p mypass www.host.org/dav_dir/
    ...
    dave> get file.txt
 
 

Use ``dave -h'' to get help on options

Use ``perldoc dave'' for the whole manpage.

DESCRIPTION

dave is a powerful command-line program for interacting with WebDAV-enabled webservers. With dave you can:

•

get and put files

•

make directories on a remote webserver

•

remove files and directories from a remote webserver

•

edit a file on the webserver with a single command

•

recursively get a remote directory

•

recursively put a local directory

•

lock and unlock remote files and directories

•

securely transfer over https

•

authenticate using the safer Digest authentication

Dave is a part of the PerlDAV project (http://www.webdav.org/perldav/) and is built on top of the HTTP::DAV perl API.

If you would like to script webdav interactions in Perl checkout the HTTP::DAV API as it's commands are the basis for dave's.

OPTIONS

-debug N

Sets the debug level to N. 0=none. 3=noisy.

-h

Prints basic help and options.

-man

Prints the full manual (equivalent to perldoc dave).

You will need to use a pager like ``more'' or ``less''.

  e.g. dave -man |less
 
 

-p <password>

Sets the password to be used for the URL.

You must also supply a user. See -u.

-u <username>

Sets the username to be used for the URL.

You must also supply a pass. See -p.

COMMANDS

cd URL

changes directories

    dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
    dave> cd dir1
    dave> cd ../dir2
 
 

cat URL

shows the contents of a remote file

    dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
    dave> cat index.html
 
 

Note: you cannot cat a directory (collection).

cp

copy SOURCE_URL DEST_URL

copies one remote resource to another

   dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
 
 

Create a copy of dir1/ as dav2/

   dave> cp dir1 dav2
 
 

Create a copy of dir1/file.txt as dav2/file.txt

   dave> cd dir1
   dave> copy file.txt ../dav2
 
 

Create a copy of file.txt as ../dav2/new_file.txt

   dave> copy file.txt dav2/new_file.txt
 
 

Aliases: cp

rmdir URL

rm URL

delete URL

deletes a remote resource

    dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
    dave> delete index.html
    dave> rmdir ./dir1
    dave> delete /dav_dir/dir2/
    dave> delete /dav_dir/*.html
 
 

This command recursively deletes directories. BE CAREFUL :)

This command supported wildcards (globbing). See get.

Aliases: rm, rmdir

edit URL

edits the contents of a remote file

    dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
    dave> edit index.html
 
 

Edit is equivalent to the following sequence of commands:

    LOCK index.html (if allowed)
    GET index.html /tmp/dave.perldav.421341234124
    sh $EDITOR /tmp/dave.perldav.421341234124
    PUT index.html (if modified)
    UNLOCK index.html (if locked)
 
 

Where $EDITOR is determined from the environment variables DAV_EDITOR or EDITOR.

If DAV_EDITOR is set, it will use that, otherwise it will use EDITOR. If neither variables are set, then ``vi'' will be used.

Notes:

The lock only lasts for 10 hours.

You cannot edit a directory (collection).

The temporary save directory is editable by editing dave and changing TMP_DIR

get URL [FILE]

downloads the file or directory at URL

If FILE is not specified it will be saved to your current working directory using the same name as the remote name.

   dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
 
 

Recursively get remote my_dir/ to .

   dave> get my_dir/
 
 

Recursively get remote my_dir/ to /tmp/my_dir/

   dave> get my_dir /tmp
 
 

Get remote my_dir/index.html to /tmp/index.html

   dave> get /dav_dir/my_dir/index.html /tmp
 
 

Get remote index.html to /tmp/index1.html

   dave> get index.html /tmp/index1.html
 
 

Use globs and save to /tmp

   dave> get index* /tmp                   # Gets index*.html, index*.txt, etc.
   dave> get index*.html /tmp/index1.html  # Gets index*.html
   dave> get index[12].htm?                # Gets file1 and file2, .htm and .html
 
 

? [CMD]

h [CMD]

help [CMD]

prints list of commands or help for CMD

   dave> ?
 
   dave> help get
 
 

Aliases: ?, h

lcd [DIR]

changes local directory

   dave> lcd /tmp
 
 

lls [DIR]

   dave> lls

This command simply execs the local ls command and is equivalent to ``!ls''

Use propfind to get a similar printout of a collection (directory).

Aliases: dir

lock [URL [TIMEOUT] [DEPTH]]

locks a resource

Without a URL you will lock the current remote collection.

TIMEOUT can be any of the following formats:
             30s          30 seconds from now
             10m          ten minutes from now
             1h           one hour from now
             1d           tomorrow
             3M           in three months
             10y          in ten years time
             2000-02-31 00:40:33
             2000-02-31

Default is an infinite timeout

See perldoc "HTTP::DAV::Resource" for more information about timeouts.

DEPTH can be either ``0'' or ``infinity'' (default)

Seeting the lock Scope and Type is not currently implemented. Let me know if you need it as it shouldn't be too much effort.

mkdir URL

mkcol URL

make a remote collection (directory)

   dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
   dave> mkcol new_dir
   dave> mkdir /dav_dir/new_dir
 
 

Aliases: mkdir

mv

move SOURCE_URL DEST_URL

moves a remote resource to another

   dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
 
 

Move dir1/ to dav2/

   dave> move dir1 dav2
 
 

Move file dir2/file.txt to ../file.txt

   dave> cd dir2
   dave> move file.txt ..
 
 

Move file.txt to dav2/new_file.txt

   dave> move file.txt dav2/new_file.txt
 
 

Aliases: mv

open URL

connects to the WebDAV-enabled server at URL

    dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
 
 

Note that if authorization details are required you will be prompted for them.

https and Digest authorization are not currently supported. Please let me know if you need it.

options [URL]

show the HTTP methods allowed for a URL

    dave> options index.html
    OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, DELETE, TRACE, PROPFIND, 
    PROPPATCH, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, UNLOCK
 
 

Note that Microsoft's IIS does not support LOCK on collections (directories). Nor does it support PROPPATCH.

propfind [URL]

show the properties of a resource

   dave> propfind test
   URL: http://host.org/dav_dir/test/
   Content-type: httpd/unix-directory

   Last modified:
   Size:  bytes
   Locks supported: write/exclusive write/shared

Using ls will get you the same printout if you ls a file. But ls'ing a collection will show you the collections contents.

put FILE [URL]

uploads a local file or directory to URL or the currently opened location.

If URL is an existing collection then the dir/file will be copied INTO that collection.

   dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
 
 

Recursively put local my_dir/ to host.org/dav_dir/my_dir/:

   dave> put my_dir/
 
 

Put local index.html to host.org/dav_dir/index1.html:

   dave> put /tmp/index.html index1.html
 
 

Put * to remote directory

   dave> put *
 
 

Put index[12].htm? to remote directory /dav_dir (/dav_dir must exist)

   dave> put index[12].htm? /dav_dir
 
 

Put index[1234].htm? to remote directory /dav_dir (/dav_dir must exist)

   dave> put index[1-4].htm? /dav_dir
 
 

Glob types supported are, * (matches any characters), ? (matches any one character), [...] (matches any characters in the set ...).

pwd

  dave> open host.org/dav_dir/
  dave> cd new_dir/
  dave> pwd
  http://host.org/dav_dir/new_dir/

Useful if you accidentally forgot to unlock a resource from a previous session or if you think that somebody has forgotten to unlock a resource.

unlock [URL]

    dave> unset file.txt author "mynamespace"
 
 

The NAMESPACE by default is ``DAV:''.

GETTING HELP

The perldav mailing list There is a mailing list for PerlDAV and dave for use by Developers and Users. Please see http://mailman.webdav.org/mailman/listinfo/perldav

INSTALLATION

dave is installed to /usr/local/bin by default when you install the PerlDAV library. See http://www.webdav.org/perldav/ for installation details of PerlDAV.

WHAT PLATFORMS WILL IT WORK ON?

dave is pure perl so only needs Perl5.003 (or later) and the "PerlDAV" library to be installed.

I have not ported dave to Windows but would like somebody to have a shot at it.
