DavFS

DavFS

• an excellent idea: make a mountable filesystem using webdav
• Compile:
  • to compile with SSL, start with ./configure --with-ssl
  • I used kernel source 2.4.17 (compile your own to overcome module version problem) works great!

Usage

• mount.davfs https://wherever:9800/path /mountpoint -u user -p pw (order matters) The 9800, my webdav port, is necessary to allow editing documents in uncooked (raw) format
• it automatically starts up davfsd (the cache daemon) and so remember to umount your dav mounts before a reboot
