Cadaver

For those who don't know, Cadaver is a webDAV client for *NIX so you can use this to copy files to/from your iDisk (or any webDAV compliant share) and your iPhone. Not the most fun thing in the world via the vt100 terminal, but usable. A GUI will follow eventually.

Copy the binary to /usr/local/bin, open the vt-100 terminal and type cadaver with the following usage:

NAME
cadaver - A command-line WebDAV client for Unix.

SYNOPSIS
cadaver [-et][-V][-h] http://hostname: port/path

DESCRIPTION
cadaver supports file upload, download, on-screen display, namespace
operations (move and copy), collection creation and deletion, and lock-
ing operations.

Its operation is similar to the standard BSD ftp(1) client and the
Samba Project's smbclient(1). A user familiar with these tools should
be quite comfortable with cadaver.

cadaver supports automatically logging in to servers requiring authen-
tication via a .netrc file (similar to ftp(1) - see section "THE .netrc
FILE" below).

OPTIONS
-e, --expect100
Enable sending of `Expect: 100-continue' header.

-t, --tolerant
Allow cd/open into non-WebDAV enabled collection; use if the
server or proxy server has WebDAV compliance problems.

-V, --version
Display version information and exit.

-h, --help
Display this help message and exit.

THE .netrc FILE
The file ~/.netrc may be used to automatically login to a server
requiring authentication. The following tokens (separated by spaces,
tabs or newlines) may be used:

machine host
Identify a remote machine host which is compared with the host-
name given on the command line or as an argument to the open
command. Any subsequent tokens up to the end of file or the
next machine or default token are associated with this entry.

default
This is equivalent to the machine token but matches any host-
name. Only one default token may be used and it must be after
all machine tokens.

login username
Specifies the username to use when logging in to the remote
machine.

password string
passwd string
Specifies the password to use when logging in to the remote
machine.

Any other tokens (as described in ftp(1)) are ignored.

EXAMPLES
cadaver http://dav.example.com/
Connects to the server myserver.example.com, opening the root
collection.

cadaver http://zope.example.com:8022/Users/fred/
Connects to the server zope.example.com using port 8022, opening
the collection "/Users/fred/".

cadaver https://secure.example.com/
Connects to a server called secure.example.com using SSL.

FILES
~/.cadaverrc
Individual user settings that can override cadaver defaults.

~/.netrc
Login and initialization information used by the auto-login
process. See section "THE .netrc FILE" for details.

Works great over Wi-Fi, but not edge (T-Zones). Am I doing something wrong? Also, is there a way to add pictures I copy from my iDisk to an iPhone picture album? I can open them with Finder.app, but I don't know where to copy them to get them in an album. Thanks.

Sorry, it won't work over T-Zones because of the wap proxy. As for the picture thing, I haven't really investigated adding pictures to the photo albums, but I don't think it's as simple as copying to a specific directory because of the way the iphone handles photos. I'll probably start working on this again when the SDK is released. My site had a major crash and I've been spending my free time putting it back together!
