how to add webdav to rclone

To add a WebDAV server to rclone, use the interactive rclone config wizard to specify your server URL, login credentials, and vendor type. [1, 2]

Here is how you can set it up in just a few steps:

Step 1: Start the Configuration Wizard

Open your terminal or command prompt and run: [1]

B
rclone config

Step 2: Create a New Remote

Enter n to create a new remote.Give it a descriptive name (e.g., my_webdav). [1, 2]

Step 3: Select WebDAV

When prompted to choose the storage type, look for WebDAV in the list (usually listed under storage type 42 or similar). [1]

Step 4: Enter Your WebDAV Details

You will need to provide the following information:

URL: Enter the exact WebDAV URL provided by your storage provider (e.g., https://example.com).
Vendor: Select your specific vendor (e.g., nextcloud, owncloud, sharepoint, fastmail, or other if your provider isn't listed).
User: Your WebDAV login username.
Pass: Enter y to set your own password and input your WebDAV password or app password.
Bearer Token: Leave this blank by pressing Enter.
Advanced Config: Enter n to skip this. [1, 2, 3]

Step 5: Save and Test

Press y to confirm and save the connection.
Press q to exit the setup. [1, 2]

Once added, test that the connection works by listing files in your WebDAV root with the following command (replace my_webdav with the name of your remote): [1]

B
rclone lsf my_webdav
