Downloading and Configuring cadaver for Unix and Linux to Connect to the Web Hosting Service

Time to Complete (in minutes): 12

Question:

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

Answer:

Download cadaver from DAV's WebDAV Resources page (http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/).
Download and install the latest version of OpenSSL. Go to OpenSSL's OpenSSL Tarballs page (http://www.openssl.org/source/).

Follow these basic steps for installation:

At the shell prompt, enter: export CPPFLAGS="-I/[Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder]/include"
Note: Replace [Location of Your **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 Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder]/lib"
Note: Replace [Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder] with the location to which you downloaded OpenSSL. The default location is /usr/local/openssl/lib.
Enter: gunzip -c [Name of cadaver Download File] | tar xvf -
Note:
- Replace [Name of cadaver Download File] with the name of the cadaver file you downloaded.
  Example: cadaver-0.22.1.tar.gz
- "tar zxvf" is equivalent to "gunzip -c tar xvf -". Newer versions of "tar" understand the 'z' flag which refers to using gzip or gunzip compression.

Enter: cd [Version of cadaver]

Note: Replace [Version of cadaver] with the version of cadaver that you downloaded.

Example: cadaver-0.22.1

Enter: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-ssl

Enter: make

Enter: make install

Enter: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=[Location of Your **installed** OpenSSL Folder]/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Notes:

Replace [Location of Your **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.
Run "cadaver -- version" to verify the right version of cadaver and OpenSSL.

To connect to your hosting site, enter: [Location of cadaver] https://www.hosting.vt.edu/[Your Site's URL]

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 URL] with the address of your Web site.
Example: www.abcd1234.vt.edu

At the Do You Wish to Accept The Certificate? prompt, enter: y

Enter your PID.

Enter your password.

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.
