WebDAV and Autoversioning
products. At the time of writing, WebDrive can be purchased from South River Technologies (http://www.southrivertech.com). NetDrive ships with Netware, is free of charge, and can be found by searching the web for “netdrive.exe�. Though it is freely available online, users are required to have a Netware license. (If any of that sounds odd to you, you're not alone. See this page on Novell's website: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/999.html)
Mac OS X Apple's OS X operating system has an integrated filesystem-level WebDAV client. From the Finder, select the Connect to Server item from the Go menu. Enter a WebDAV URL, and it appears as a disk on the desktop, just like any other mounted volume. You can also mount a WebDAV share from the Darwin terminal by using the webdav filesystem type with the mount command: $ mount -t webdav http://svn.example.com/repos/project /some/mountpoint $ Note that if your mod_dav_svn is older than version 1.2, OS X will refuse to mount the share as read-write; it will appear as read-only. This is because OS X insists on locking support for read-write shares, and the ability to lock files first appeared in Subversion 1.2. One more word of warning: OS X's WebDAV client can sometimes be overly sensitive to HTTP redirects. If OS X is unable to mount the repository at all, you may need to enable the BrowserMatch directive in the Apache server's httpd.conf: BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.[012]" redirect-carefully
Linux davfs2 Linux davfs2 is a filesystem module for the Linux kernel, whose development is located at http://dav.sourceforge.net/. Once installed, a WebDAV network share can be mounted with the usual Linux mount command: $ mount.davfs http://host/repos /mnt/dav
