WebDAV
Paths are specified as remote:path
Paths may be as deep as required, eg remote:directory/subdirectory.
To configure the WebDAV remote you will need to have a URL for it, and a username and password. If you know what kind of system you are connecting to then rclone can enable extra features.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called remote. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
name> remote
Type of storage to configure.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
[snip]
22 / Webdav
\ "webdav"
[snip]
Storage> webdav
URL of http host to connect to
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
1 / Connect to example.com
\ "https://example.com"
url> https://example.com/remote.php/webdav/
Name of the Webdav site/service/software you are using
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
1 / Nextcloud
\ "nextcloud"
2 / Owncloud
\ "owncloud"
3 / Sharepoint
\ "sharepoint"
4 / Other site/service or software
\ "other"
vendor> 1
User name
user> user
Password.
y) Yes type in my own password
g) Generate random password
n) No leave this optional password blank
y/g/n> y
Enter the password:
password:
Confirm the password:
password:
Bearer token instead of user/pass (eg a Macaroon)
bearer_token>
Remote config
--------------------
[remote]
type = webdav
url = https://example.com/remote.php/webdav/
vendor = nextcloud
user = user
pass = *** ENCRYPTED ***
bearer_token =
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
Once configured you can then use rclone like this,
List directories in top level of your WebDAV
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your WebDAV
rclone ls remote:
To copy a local directory to an WebDAV directory called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Modified time and hashes
Plain WebDAV does not support modified times. However when used with Owncloud or Nextcloud rclone will support modified times.
Hashes are not supported.
Provider notes
See below for notes on specific providers.
Owncloud
Click on the settings cog in the bottom right of the page and this
will show the WebDAV URL that rclone needs in the config step. It
will look something like https://example.com/remote.php/webdav/.
Owncloud supports modified times using the X-OC-Mtime header.
Nextcloud
This is configured in an identical way to Owncloud. Note that
Nextcloud does not support streaming of files (rcat) whereas
Owncloud does. This may be
fixed in the
future.
Put.io
put.io can be accessed in a read only way using webdav.
Configure the url as https://webdav.put.io and use your normal
account username and password for user and pass. Set the vendor
to other.
Your config file should end up looking like this:
[putio]
type = webdav
url = https://webdav.put.io
vendor = other
user = YourUserName
pass = encryptedpassword
If you are using put.io with rclone mount then use the
--read-only flag to signal to the OS that it can't write to the
mount.
For more help see the put.io webdav docs.
Sharepoint
Rclone can be used with Sharepoint provided by OneDrive for Business or Office365 Education Accounts. This feature is only needed for a few of these Accounts, mostly Office365 Education ones. These accounts are sometimes not verified by the domain owner github#1975
This means that these accounts can't be added using the official API (other Accounts should work with the "onedrive" option). However, it is possible to access them using webdav.
To use a sharepoint remote with rclone, add it like this: First, you need to get your remote's URL:
- Go here to open your OneDrive or to sign in
- Now take a look at your address bar, the URL should look like this:
https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx
You'll only need this URL upto the email address. After that, you'll most likely want to add "/Documents". That subdirectory contains the actual data stored on your OneDrive.
Add the remote to rclone like this:
Configure the url as https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
and use your normal account email and password for user and pass.
If you have 2FA enabled, you have to generate an app password.
Set the vendor to sharepoint.
Your config file should look like this:
[sharepoint]
type = webdav
url = https://[YOUR-DOMAIN]-my.sharepoint.com/personal/[YOUR-EMAIL]/Documents
vendor = other
user = YourEmailAddress
pass = encryptedpassword
dCache
dCache is a storage system with WebDAV doors that support, beside basic and x509, authentication with Macaroons (bearer tokens).
Configure as normal using the other type. Don't enter a username or
password, instead enter your Macaroon as the bearer_token.
The config will end up looking something like this.
[dcache]
type = webdav
url = https://dcache...
vendor = other
user =
pass =
bearer_token = your-macaroon
There is a script that obtains a Macaroon from a dCache WebDAV endpoint, and creates an rclone config file.
