# nd(1)

Tiny little command line WebDAV interface

## NAME

nd - Tiny little command line WebDAV interface

## SYNOPSIS

nd \[*options*\] url

## DESCRIPTION

**nd** provides a simple command line interface to the RFC 2518 (WebDAV) server. If no option is specified, HTTP GET command is issued and writes response data to the standard output.

The options are as follows:

- **-c** *dest\_url*

  COPY *url* to the *dest\_url*. Use lock token if  **-t** is specified.

- **-f**

  Force override the content even when the MOVE or COPY target already exits.

- **-v**

  View property information of *url* by PROPFIND. With  **-g** option, only the specified property is displayed.

- **-p** *file*

  PUT *file* content to the *url*. Use lock token if  **-t** is specified.

- **-g** *name*

  Specify the property name for **-v** option.

- **-e** *name=value*

  Edit the property with name to value using PROPPATCH .

- **-N** *namespace-url*

  Specify the property namespace URL for  **-e** or **-g** option.

- **-P** *file*

  POST *file* content to the *url*. **-T** is used for the Content-Type.

- **-T** *content\_type*

  Use *content\_type* as a Content-Type field value of the POST request. Default is \`application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

- **-d**

  DELETE *url*. Use lock token if  **-t** is specified.

- **-l**

  LOCK *url*. Use  **-o** as owner, **-s** as scope, **-i** as timeout.

- **-o** *owner*

  Specify lock  *owner*. Default is USER environment variable.

- **-s** *scope*

  Specify lock *scope* (\`exclusive' or \`shared'). Default is \`exclusive'.

- **-i** *timeout*

  Specify lock  *timeout* interval. Default is \`Infinite'.

- **-u**

  UNLOCK *url*. **-t** option is required.

- **-t** *token*

  Specify the lock *token*.

- **-r**

  Set command execution \`Depth' as \`Infinity'.

- **-a** *realm*

  Specify authentication *realm*.

- **-A** *realm*

  Specify proxy authentication *realm*.

- **-k**

  MKCOL *url* .

- **-m** *dest\_url*

  MOVE *url* to the *dest\_url*. Use lock token if  **-t** is specified.

- **-S**

  Print output using s-expression.

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

- **http\_proxy, HTTP\_PROXY**

  Specify HTTP proxy.

- **USER**

  When manipulating a lock without an explicit owner option, the value of USER is used to set the owner of the file lock.

## BUGS

A maintainer of the Debian package has implemented Digest authentication on top of the original software. However, the upstream source uses the nanoHTTP code from libxml2 to implement the HTTP transport. Due to properties inherent in that code for detecting and following redirected target sites, there is no way to pull out the new address in order to insert it into the hashes necessary for the Digest method. Nd will therefore incorrectly answer with 'Bad request' to any method call aimed at such sites. Using the correct logical name for the target will, however, produce a correct response from Nd.
