Hi Thomas,

nice to hear you're appreciating ConnectMeNow 😁 

Sorry to hear you're running into an issue. Unfortunately, I have very little opportunities to test WebDAV (since I do not use it).
So when I did setup a WebDav on my webserver, I couldn't get a connection to work at all (tried commandline, ConnectMeNow, ForkLift).

Do you have a working example (through commandline mount_webdav) that works?

Hi Hans,

thank you very much for your quick answer. I tried from my mac with the commandline mount_webdav to my server and that works

the syntax is:

mount_webdav -i  https://ip:443/webDAV/path 

where -i is interactive mode and you have to provide U&P. In non-interactive mode the syntax is:

mount_webdav user:pass <at-sign>  https://ip:443/webDAV/path 

Interactive mode works and I see it on my server as well but I have not tried non-interactive mode because I have special characters in my PW which need to be escaped.

Is this what you mean by a "working example"?

Thank you very very much for your help again. :)

I did give it a try on my setup and for some reason that simply refuses to work form Terminal.

Example (cPanel likes to use port 2078 for this) failed:

mount_webdav -i  https://example.com:2078/public_html/testwebdav  ~/Mountpoints/davtest

The directory ~/Mountpoints/davtest exists, my firewall is not blocking port 2078, "-i" for interactive did ask for username and password.

The proper notation without "-i" should be (all part of the URL):

mount_webdav  https://username:password@example.com:2078/testwebdav  ~/MountPoints/davtest

But that doesn't seem to work either (no error message either, which seems a known issue with mount_webdav for a few years now already).
Mounting through Finder fails as well.

So yes that would be as close as it gets to a working example. Would be better (which you should NOT post here) to have a test account I could try. My specific setup on my server may be a reason why I cannot even get a basic connection going. 😊 

Thank you very very much Hans. Which Webserver do you use? I can share my Apache seetings if you wish or give you test access to my machine :)

Hi Thomas,

I tested this on a webserver which runs cPanel, and I'd rather not tinker with the Apache config files outside of cPanel on that one.
I can try to see if I can run WebDAV on my QNAP - even though this may or may not be a good representation.

It is odd that it used to work in v3, since the mount code didn't really change.

Thank you very much Hans. When you debug the code - do you see that it establishes a connection?

Even if I enter an IP address into the server field I do not see anything in the server logs.

I see the connection already fail when using just mount_webdav in Terminal (not even touching CMN). 😞 

That is crazy Hans. mount_webdav works for me but not ConnectMeNow with the same credentials. How can I help you?
