===About===
'''Mount a WebDAV resource as a regular file system'''.


davfs2 provides the ability to access webdav resources like a typical filesystem, allowing for use by standard applications with no built-in support for WebDAV. davfs2 is designed to fully integrate into the filesystem semantics of Unix-like systems (mount, umount, etc.). davfs2 makes mounting by unprivileged users as easy and secure as possible. davfs2 will work with most WebDAV servers needing little or no configuration.

===Installation===
The '''[[epel]]''' repository has to be enabled to install davfs2 and some dependencies. See '''[[epel|here]]''' how to enable the epel repository.


Once the epel repository has been enabled, issue the following command:
yum install davfs2 --enablerepo=epel


No further configuration is required.


===Usage===
Mounting a webdav resource examples:
mount.davfs http://localhost:8080/ /mnt/dav
or
mount -t davfs http://localhost:8080/ /mnt/dav


====Mounting your ownCloud home====
Adding a webdav resource at boot to your linux station (replace username and URL with your real values):
Add the following entry to your /etc/fstab:
https://webdav.example.com /home/username/webdav davfs user,noauto,uid=username,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1


Create secrets file in your '''ownCloud''' home (replace username with your real values):
mkdir ~/.davfs2/
echo "https://webdav.example.com/remote.php/webdav webdavuser webdavpassword" >> ~/.davfs2/secrets
chmod 0600 ~/.davfs2/secrets

Mount or unmount your '''ownCloud home'''
mount ~/webdav
fusermount -u ~/webdav
