via WebDAV on Fedora 16

I was lucky enough to get a free 50GB account. 50GB is alot!. However, the catch, individual files can’t exceed 100mb each. lol

I mainly use my to hold eBooks for later access on my Laptop and Android devices.

There is no free client for Linux so I use WebDAV instead. It’s slower but it works.

Start by installing davfs2.
# sudo yum install davfs2
Create your directory
# mkdir ~/
Create the davfs2 config directory. It’s in your home dir so it’s not system wide.
# mkdir ~/.davfs2
Disable locking. Causes issues sometimes.
# cd ~/.davfs2
# echo "use_locks 0" > davfs2.conf

Create a secret file to hold your login details. Make sure to “chmod 600 the file”
# echo " [you login] [your password]" > secrets
# chmod 600 secrets

Backup and update your /etc/fstab file to include your directory.
# cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.ori
# echo " /home/danesh/ davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

Mount and you should be able to list ~/
# mount ~/
# ls -l ~/

This is the hard way to do this. I will post a simpler method using Nautilus in a future post.
