# WebDAV CLI
Can be used to pull a directory from a remote WebDAV server, e.g. as supported by Nextcloud.
## Prerequisites
- Python >3.6
- Pip
## Quickstart (using poetry)
```
pip3 install poetry
git clone <repo-url>
cd <local-repo-path>
local-repo-path $ git submodule init && git submodule update
local-repo-path $ poetry install
local-repo-path $ poetry run python webdavcli/webdavcli.py -h
Using python3.7 (3.7.6)
usage: webdavcli.py [-h] remote_dir local_dir
Pulls a WebDAV remote directory.
positional arguments:
remote_dir remote source path
local_dir local target path
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
```
To use the client, create a file `.env` in the `local-repo-path` with the following content (adapt it according to your environment):
```
WEBDAV_SYNC_REMOTE_URL="https://nextcloud.example.tld/remote.php/dav/files/<username>/"
WEBDAV_SYNC_REMOTE_USER="<username>"
WEBDAV_SYNC_REMOTE_PASS="<password>"
```
Ensure that the remote WebDAV directory exists and then run the client, supplying a remote directory and a local target directory:
```
poetry run python webdavcli/webdavcli.py <remote_dir> <local_dir>
```
