.SH NAME
cadaver \- A command\-line WebDAV client for Unix. 
.SH SYNOPSIS
cadaver [\-trp[\-r file][\-p host[:port]]][\-V][\-h] http://hostname[:port]/path
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B cadaver 
supports file upload, download, on-screen display, namespace operations
(move and copy), collection creation and deletion, and locking operations.

Its operation is similar to the standard BSD 
.BR ftp (1)
client and the Samba Project's 
.BR smbclient (1). 
A user familiar with these tools should be quite
comfortable with cadaver.

.B cadaver
supports automatically logging in to servers requiring authentication via
a .netrc file (similar to
.BR ftp (1)
- see section "THE .netrc FILE" below).

.B machine
