WEB-DAV Linux File System(davfs)

Visit our * project Homepage, http://sourceforge.net/projects/dav/ *

What is it?

Davfs is a Linux file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV server as a local disk drive.

WebDAV is an extension to HTTP that allows remote collaborative authoring of Web resources, defined in RFC 2518.

Davfs allows a remote Web server to be edited using standard applications that interact with the file system. For example, a remote Web site could be updated in-place using the same development tools that initially created the site.
Davfs supports SSL.
