Using U of C Web Disk with Linux

To use University of Calgary web disk (based on WebDAV), one option is use a command line client such as cadaver.

Download cadaver

To install: x = version number
tar xvzf cadaver.x.tar.gz
cd cadaver.x
./configure --with-ssl
make && make install

Once it’s installed, access web disk via
cadaver https://webdisk.ucalgary.ca/~username_here

enter “?” to list available commands at cadaver prompt. It works just like a command line ftp client (get/put/mget/mput).
