[b]Mounting As A Filesystem[/b]
To install your cloud directory as a filesystem, you first need davfs2 installed. 99% of the time, this will be included in your distributions repositories. In Debian
[code]apt-get install davfs2[/code]
If you want to let normal users mount the filesystem
[code] dpkg-reconfigure davfs2[/code]
and select "yes" at the prompt.
Now you need to add any user you want to be able to mount dav to the davfs2 group
[code]usermod -aG davfs2 <DesktopUser>[/code]
Edit /etc/fstab
[code]nano /etc/fstab[/code]
to include your cloud directory by adding
[code]
example.com/cloud/ /mount/point davfs user,noauto,uid=<DesktopUser>,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1
[/code]
Where example.com is the URL of your hub, /mount/point is the location you want to mount the cloud, and <DesktopUser> is the user you log in to one your computer. Note that if you are mounting as a normal user (not root) the mount point must be in your home directory.
For example, if I wanted to mount my cloud to a directory called 'cloud' in my home directory, and my username was bob, my fstab would be
[code]example.com/cloud/ /home/bob/cloud davfs user,noauto,uid=bob,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1[/code]
Now, create the mount point.
[code]mkdir /home/bob/cloud[/code]
and also create a directory file to store your credentials
[code]mkdir /home/bob/.davfs2[/code]
Create a file called 'secrets'
[code]nano /home/bob/.davfs2/secrets[/code]
and add your cloud login credentials
[code]
example.com/cloud <username> <password>
[/code]
Where <username> and <password> are the username and password [i]for your hub[/i].
Don't let this file be writeable by anyone who doesn't need it with
[code]chmod 600 /home/bob/.davfs2/secrets[/code]
Finally, mount the drive.
[code]mount example.com/cloud[/code]
You can now find your cloud at /home/bob/cloud and use it as though it were part of your local filesystem - even if the applications you are using have no dav support themselves.
