WebDAV clients

WebDavPilot

Description

WebDAVPilot is an Eclipse plugin which allows you to browse WebDAV enabled servers such as Hippo Repository. Useful features are:

  • viewing and editing documents
  • viewing and editing properties
  • copying files and folders withing the repository
  • viewing and editing permissions on WebDAV level

Availability

WebDAVPilot was developed by S & N. Unfortunately it is no longer developed or supported. The last release (0.3.3) is however available for download from the following web site:

http://www.s-und-n.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&lang=en&id=72&Itemid=117

WebDAVPilot 0.3.3 is not compatible with Eclipse 3.2, so you have to use Eclipse 3.1.

Opening XML files with the DAV XML Editor by default in Eclipse

The trick is to add a file type for the specific mime-type, e.g. "text/xml". In Eclipse, choose Window -> Preferences. Under General -> Editors -> File Associations, add a filetype "*._webdavresource_text/xml", and associate the editor "DAV XML Editor".

No more right click, open with... frustrations!

Known Bugs

  • WebDAVPilot cannot handle filenames containing spaces or "strange" characters. Directories containing such files are shown as empty.
  • WebDAVPilot ignores the encoding of XML documents and always uses its default encoding (ISO-something). This means that UTF-8 documents may look like they contain incorrect characters in WebDAVPilot, while in fact it is WebDAVPilot that displays them in the wrong encoding. Use a browser like Firefox to see if the encoding of the document is OK.
  • WebDAVPilot does not support locks. A locked document cannot be manipulated. If you try to do this, you will get an error.

Cadaver

Description

cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client for Unix. It supports file upload, download, on-screen display, namespace operations (move/copy), collection creation and deletion, and locking operations.

Known Bugs

  • If you want to edit an existing property, you have to magically know which namespace it is in, as there doesn't seem to be a way to request that piece of information.
