WebDAV or Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) allowing to access files over the internet. WebDAV access to the LSDF Online Storage is provided via a cluster of servers reachable at the address '''https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu'''. |

|||
</pre> |
|||
Project directories are accessible at the usual location: |
|||
<pre> |
|||

== Using WebDAV on Linux == |
|||
=== Mounting a WebDAV Share === |
|||
davfs2 is a file system driver that allows mounting a WebDAV server as a local file system, like a disk drive. This way, applications can access resources on a WebDAV server without knowing anything about HTTP or WebDAV. davfs2 does extensive caching to make the file system responsive, to avoid unnecessary network traffic and to prevent data loss, and to cope for slow or unreliable connections. |
|||
==== Installation ==== |
|||
On CentOS or RedHat like systems install the package davfs2 which is available in the epel repository: |
|||
$ yum install -y epel-release |
|||
$ yum install davfs2 |
|||
==== Mounting a Share (as root) ==== |
|||
To mount an LSDF WebDAV share issue the following command as root: |
|||
$ mkdir /mnt/webdav |
|||
mount.davfs https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu/ /mnt/webdav >/dev/null 2>&1 |
|||
Please enter the username to authenticate with server |
|||
https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu/ or hit enter for none. |
|||
Username: xy1234 |
|||
Please enter the password to authenticate user fg9068 with server |
|||
https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu/ or hit enter for none. |
|||
Password: |
|||
or |
|||
$ mount.davfs -o username=xy1234,uid=xxx,gid=yyy,rw https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu/inst/projects /mnt/webdav |
