How to mount web folder (webdav) under Linux?

I have recently received 10GB of disk space from my ISP for free so I thought that I could store backup of my local server there.

For making my Ubuntu server to recognise webdav as a file system I needed to install package davfs2.

After installation all I needed to do was to create one new directory on / and execute following command:

mount -t davfs http://your.server/your_username /mount_point

After that you will get prompt to enter username and password.

That’s it, now you have your webdav folder mounted.


If you don't already have a Dropbox account then you can create it by clicking on my affiliate link. You will receive 2GB free account + 250 MB extra and I will receive 250 MB as well. Win-Win :-)
