Question:

How do I download and configure cadaver for Unix and Linux to connect to the Web Hosting service?

Answer:

Download cadaver from the cadaver Web site (http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/).
Download the latest version of OpenSSL from the Tarballs page (http://www.openssl.org/source/).
To install OpenSSL:
1. In the terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the OpenSSL tar file.
2. At the shell prompt, enter:
  tar zxvf [Name of OpenSSL tar file]
  
  Note: Replace [Name of OpenSSL tar file] with the name of the OpenSSL.tar.gz file you downloaded.
3. Enter:
  cd [Version of OpenSSL]
  
  Note: Replace [Version of OpenSSL] with the name of the directory created after unzipping the OpenSSL file you downloaded.
4. Enter:
  ./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl shared
5. Enter:
  make && make install
6. Enter:
  /usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl version
At the shell prompt, enter:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/[Location of installed OpenSSL folder]/include"

Note: Replace [Location of installed OpenSSL folder] with the location to which you downloaded OpenSSL. The default location is /usr/local/openssl/include.
Enter:
export LDFLAGS="-L/[Location of installed OpenSSL folder]/lib"

Note: Replace [Location of installed OpenSSL folder] with the location to which you downloaded OpenSSL. The default location is /usr/local/openssl/lib.
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the cadaver tar file.
Enter:
tar zxvf [Name of cadaver file]

Note: Replace [Name of cadaver file] with the name of the cadaver file you downloaded.
Enter:
cd [Version of cadaver]

Note: Replace [Version of cadaver] with the version of cadaver that you downloaded.
Enter:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-ssl
Enter:
make
Enter:
make install
Enter:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[Location of installed OpenSSL folder]/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note: Replace [Location of installed OpenSSL folder] with the location to which you downloaded OpenSSL. The default location is LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openssl/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
To verify that you installed the correct version of cadaver and OpenSSL, enter:
cadaver -- version
To connect to your hosting site, enter:
[Location of cadaver] https://webdav.vt.edu/www.[Your site's name].vt.edu

Notes:
- Replace [Location of cadaver] with the location to which you installed cadaver. The default location is /usr/local/bin/cadaver.
- Replace [Your site's name] with the name of your Web site.
At the Do you wish to accept the certificate? prompt, enter:
y
Enter your PID.
Enter your password.
Once cadaver is installed and configured, you can use the following commands to upload and download files:
- To upload a file, enter:
  put [Filename]
  
  Note: Replace [Filename] with the name of the file you want to upload.
- To download a file, enter:
  get [Filename]
  
  Note: Replace [Filename] with the name of the file you want to download.
