Webdav: keeps asking for my password

Sun, 23 Feb 2020 10:47:19 +0100

Hi

I'm trying to access my hubzilla cloud from Gnome Nautilus.
I click '+ Other Locations' and add davs://hub.disroot.org/dav/meaz under "Connect to Server". I put in your username/password when asked. But even though my password is the right one, it keeps asking me for the password.

Any ideas?

Just tested for nautilus, debian 10, ZAP (Hubzilla should be the same)

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 19:29:22 +0100

I have tested this:
mount -t davfs -o noexec https://hub.disroot.org/dav/meaz /home/me/cloud
and this:
mount -t davfs -o noexec https://hub.disroot.org/dav/ /home/me/cloud
but I get:
Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge

But I'm sure my password is right.

I can not see this thread in my network time line! I just wanted to ask something and recognised, that I dont know this thread.

Has disroot maybe some troubles?

WebDAV behaviour with client

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 17:30:23 +0100

How to improve security for webdav? To surprise, able to access files via webdav using cadaver, without _any_ authentication request?

Is it possible to change the URL to .../dav/... instead of .../cloud/... ?

The endpoint for webdav is /dav/
/cloud/ is only used for the web UI.

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 19:34:14 +0100

If you visited /cloud/ with cadaver you probably wasn't asked to authenticate and saw the list of public directories and files...

Command terminal output:

It is empty

Is this behaviour expected? It looks like a bug (or incomplete).

IIRC you need to auth with your channel name. In your case:

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 20:51:41 +0100

Agreed, thank you. Do you know of a documentation web page that describes this thread or can be updated for others?

create a file ~/.netrc
But this has to be plaintext which is something that makes cadaver not very recommendable.

default
login channelname
password yourpassword

then you could use in a bash script something like this

$DIRTARGET is the local directory where the file resides that you want to move
$destPath is /path/where/you/want/your/file/to/be/put
$FILENAME is just that, the file you want to put
$FILENAMEOLD would be another file name if you want to delete a file

cadaver -t <<EOF
open https://yourhub.com/dav
lcd $DIRTARGET/
cd $destPath
put "$FILENAME"
delete "$FILENAMEOLD"
quit
EOF

Thanks for that. Is it possible for dynamic help to be configured. For example when user has selected the function 'files', the 'help' function is hyperlinked to this relevant section of the documentation?

WEBDAV seams like a really cool tool to manage files on the HZ hub,
but I don´t get it to work –

On windows i can connect to the Hz folders and see all the files but I can´t copy or move any of them – drag and drop has no result.

On linux i installed dafs2 but all commands i tried don´t work… can someone help? THANKS

Oh yeah, one more thing; I'm not sure about Mike's method, but for mine you'll also need to add your user account to the davfs2 group. Almost forgot.

What would be the correct (or alternative) username for login?

The channel name: .

Need help with WebDAV

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 07:19:09 +0200 last edited: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 07:23:04 +0200

hello !Hubzilla Support Forum

WebDAV access is not working for me

1) OUTSIDE HUBZILLA: I enabled WebDAV on my Synology NAS just to confirm that WebDAV acces is working on my Windows 10 PC if I supply a valid connection

2) HUBZILLA: I tried both, against my "public" (shared web hoster) https://hub.ax9.eu/ and my local (on NAS) playground https://hubdev.ax9.eu/ - I cannot get a connection going from Windows 10.

What I used:
URL: https://hub.ax9.eu/dav/jens-privat (one of my channel nicknames)
USER: the actual user name that the channel belongs to
PASSWORD: the password I use to log onto hubzilla website with the given user

Where is my mistake?

The apache log on the server remains empty, the hubzilla log also has nothing that seems related to webdav. How to troubleshoot?

Thanks!

webdav

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 17:38:38 +0200

thank you, I enabled the logging.

On the remote hub.ax9.eu I don't see any of the mentioned variables!
MKCOL is missing from the allowed methods and trying to set that via .htaccess makes the server go 500
I guess the hosting provider has some lockdown in place?

On the local installation hubdev.ax9.eu I could see through the log that I have to give 'account@email' instead of just 'account'. This way I get past the login.

But then I'm stuck with an infamous Error 0x80070043

That's too much of a hassle right now. I would need the webdav for the remote server anyways and there it does not seem work at all.

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 06:59:53 +0200

shared hosting and the provider has Apache's native WebDAV enabled

OK, that's the reason then. Thank you

Not able to upload through WebDAV

Mon, 14 May 2018 21:17:57 +0200

Hi all

What am I doing wrong/What might be missing?

I'm on Windows 10 PC. I follow the Hubzilla help to connect WebDAV, using the channel nickname and the password of the connected user. This seems to work: I can see whats already in the hubzilla cloud.

But I cannot upload anything into an existing folder, generic error about "wrong parameter"

Any ideas?

WebDAV cloud files upload

Tue, 15 May 2018 08:09:43 +0200

I can upload through the web interface, write access ok.

Yes, i used the 'cloud' url. That comes up in the help as highlighted link in a couple places. The 'dav' url is easy to miss in comparison, it's only written in plain text.

New issue: with the 'https://hub.ax9.eu/dav/nickname' url the login fails.
I tried both, the nickname of a specific channel as well as the nickname of the user who created the channel.

Sun, 28 Jul 2019 02:41:49 +0200

I can't work out how to connect at all.
