Cadaver for Windows
phTagr supports the WebDAV network storage protocol to upload and manage your media files. While WebDAV is supported by all common OSs it is tricky within Windows (especially without encryption and the advanced Digest Authentication Schema). Free and simple alternatives for Windows are rare. On the other hand cadaver is a simple command line WebDAV client for Unix/Linux. There is also a cadaver package for cygwin to run it in Windows – but cygwin is bloody huge.
Therefore, I created a minimalistic version of cadaver for Windows from the cygwin packages and pack them to a useful zip archive. The minimalistic version comes with the required DLLs only. You can unzip the archive and use it (of cause the origin licenses of cadaver and its dependencies applies).
[Update] The command ‘ls.exe’ is now included to inspect the local directory. Call ‘lls’ within cadaver to see current directory content. Furthe the script ‘cadaver.bat’ sets the path of cadaver to the PATH environment variable to find ‘ls.exe’. So call ‘cadaver.bat’ instead ‘cadaver.exe’!
Download cadaver with required DLLs: cadaver-0.23.3-1 (updated version from 2011-04-29)
Download cadaver with required DLLs: cadaver-0.23.2-minimalistic-2.zip
Download all cygwin packages: cadaver-0.23.2-minimalistic.pkgs-2.zip
Enjoy.
very useful, thankyou!
but… can you please include ‘more’ in the minimalistic zip file so that the ‘less’ command also works?
Cheers
Sven
@Sven: Thank you! Next time I update the cadaver for windows, I will include the ‘less’ and ‘cd’ command (but currently I am on vacation
)
Cadaver for Windows is a very interesting, robust alternative now that WebDAV support seems to have been wiped out from Windows (even windows XP), no matter how many updates you install from the Micro$oft KB. My students use WebDAV folders to hand in their assignments and Cadaver comes handy (even if the command-line interface may scare many of my students away).
Recently I updated the ZIP file to cadaver’s version 0.23.3-1.
@Sven: I could not manage to get ‘more’ command running and got a spawn failure of calling ‘/bin/more’. If someone knows a solution I’d be happy to apply it to the given package.
