Access via cURL

Since WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP protocol, cURL can be used to script file operations.

1. To create a folder with the current date as name:

   Terminal

   $ curl -u user:pass -X MKCOL "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/$(date '+%d-%b-%Y')"
   

2. To upload a file error.log into that directory enter:

   Terminal

   $ curl -u user:pass -T error.log "https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/$(date '+%d-%b-%Y')/error.log"
   

3. To move a file enter:

   Terminal

   $ curl -u user:pass -X MOVE --header 'Destination: https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/target.jpg' https://example.com/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/source.jpg
