Accessing WebDAV From Commandline
Linux has a wonderful commandline tool for accessing WebDAV resources. It is cadaver. To access any resource:
$ cadaver http://portale:8080/alfresco/webdav/Web%20Projects
If the resource requires authentication, cadaver will prompt for it. Then you may use the standard UNIX and FTP commands for navigating and manipulating content. Some of the common commands are: cd, pwd, ls, put, get, mput, mget, less, cat and delete. Similar to FTP commands, it has corresponding local commands too: lcd, lpwd and lls.
Edit In-line
To edit a file in-line in cadaver, just issue the edit <file-name> command. The default editor will open the file. To change the editor (to, say, emacs), issue the command: set editor emacs from cadaver prompt.

Thanks Subwiz,
I tried the above command and it works fine. But using cadaver we need to maintain username,pwd,hostname in *.netrc* file. It’s raising an security issue.
Is there any other possibility to pass the above parameters in a cadaver command line?
