Cadaver supports file upload, download, on-screen display, in-place editing, namespace operations (move/copy), collection creation and deletion, property manipulation, and resource locking.

Its operation is similar to the standard BSD ftp(1) client and the Samba Project's smbclient(1).

This package includes GnuTLS (HTTPS) support.

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allow users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers.
