2 Access to WebDAV
Install davfs2 package for mounting davfs.
$ sudo dnf install -y davfs2
Run "mount -t davfs".
$ sudo mount -t davfs https://localhost/webdav /mnt Please enter the username to authenticate with server https://localhost/webdav or hit enter for none. Username: webdav Please enter the password to authenticate user webdav with server https://localhost/webdav or hit enter for none. Password: /sbin/mount.davfs: the server certificate does not match the server name /sbin/mount.davfs: the server certificate is not trusted issuer: SomeOrganizationalUnit, SomeOrganization, SomeCity, SomeState, -- subject: SomeOrganizationalUnit, SomeOrganization, SomeCity, SomeState, -- identity: fedora-25 fingerprint: 15:73:eb:cb:97:4b:d1:ae:8b:6a:ca:e8:0a:83:c2:f4:11:e1:45:74 You only should accept this certificate, if you can verify the fingerprint! The server might be faked or there might be a man-in-the-middle-attack. Accept certificate for this session? [y,N] y
Write file via WebDAV.
$ echo hello | sudo tee /mnt/hello.txt
For updating written file immediately, unmount /mnt.
