Usage

You have to supply the URL to the WebDAV server and your username. Once you call wd_connect, you will be prompted for the password.

library(rdav)
r <- wd_connect("https://example.com/remote.php/dav/files/user", "user")

wd_dir(r) # lists the main directory
wd_dir(r, "subdir", as_df = TRUE) # lists 'subdir', returns a dataframe

Create folder, upload and download data

wd_mkdir(r,"myfolder")
wd_upload(r, "testfile.R", "myfolder/testfile.R")
wd_download(r, "myfolder", "d:/data/fromserver")

Share files via public link or e-mail

ocs_create_share_link(r, "myfolder")
ocs_create_share_mail(r, "myfolder", "[e-mail]")
