GettingStarted
Set up your Web Folders

Linux / Ubuntu


Mount a dav2fs filesystem

# apt-get install davfs2
# mkdir /mnt/sosius
# mount -t davfs https://webdav.sosius.com /mnt/sosius

You can save your username and password in /etc/davfs2/secrets to avoid being prompted for user credentials

# echo "https://webdav.sosius.com username password" >> /etc/davfs2/secrets

If you wish, you can also add the following to /etc/fstab

https://webdav.sosius.com /mnt/sosius davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0

You can then mount your workspace using the command

# mount https://webdav.sosius.com
