About:
cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client that enables users to interact with remote DAV collections directly from the terminal. It supports uploading, downloading, and managing files on WebDAV servers, providing a scriptable interface for automated tasks. The tool leverages the neon library for HTTP/WebDAV communication and OpenSSL for secure connections.

Key Features:

Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Supports secure HTTPS connections via OpenSSL
File operations: upload, download, move, delete, and collection management
Uses the neon library for robust WebDAV protocol support

Use Cases:

Automating file synchronization with WebDAV servers in CI/CD pipelines
Managing remote web content on servers supporting WebDAV

Alternatives:

rclone – rclone supports many cloud protocols including WebDAV, offering more features like syncing and encryption, but is a larger binary.
curl – curl can perform basic WebDAV operations using custom methods but lacks a dedicated DAV command set and interactive mode.
