WebDAV client / iDisk mount on N800?

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a webdav client for the N800, or whether there is any other tool available that I could use to mount my .mac iDisk on my N800?

Thanks,
John

Re: WebDAV client / iDisk mount on N800?

I have been looking for the same so I can access my iDisk from my N810. Is there an app that has WebDav support? Thanks.

Re: WebDAV client / iDisk mount on N800?

I did one for chinook (requires a number of kernel modules, coda or fuse, plus libneon, and a few other things).

Briefly, it does work and mounts mac iDisks. But it works from the xterm and needed scripts. I haven't tested under Diablo (I might try, but I have a few other things in the queue).

(Just tested under Diablo, it works)

http://www.zdez.org/nokdavfs2-0.0.1.deb

Depends on the fuse filesystem including the kernel module (fuse.ko - there is a package for this) and/or coda (coda.ko)

BUT after installing the deb, it also requires the following things to fix it as root:
(missing deb postinst I never really finished)

Code:

chown root /usr/etc/davfs2/secrets

chmod 0600 /usr/etc/davfs2/secrets

echo "davfs2:*:1234" >>/etc/group

echo "davfs2:*:1234:1234:davfs:/usr/etc/davfs2:/bin/sh" >>/etc/passwd

mv /usr/bin/mount.davfs /usr/bin/umount.davfs /sbin

mkdir /media/idisk

mount -t davfs http://idisk.mac.com/YOURNAME/ /media/idisk
will ask for username YOURNAME@mac.com and password

Note there is probably a better way to create the davfs2 user and group, it probably shouldn't have a shell.

I should add a maemo project for this...

Dear tz1,

Thank you for this contribution, it will be very useful. however, I can not make it work with Diablo. I have installed fuse, typed the code you reported, then tried the mount [...]. it simply say failed.

Do you have any advise,

Best regards,

Mattia

Re: WebDAV client / iDisk mount on N800?

I solved using the fuse packages found at this internet site: http://nakkiboso.com/maemofuse/

Extremely useful to upload vacation pictures to a remote location... :D

you have to install fuse_2.7.3_armel.deb neon_0.28.1_armel.deb davfs2_1.3.0_armel.deb and then mount -t davfs http://idisk.mac.com/YOURNAME/ /media/idisk

...if I do this i get an error message:

Code:

mount: mounting http://mywebdavdomain.com/ on /mnt/test/ failed

Any idea?

Edit: /etc/davfs seems to be emty - could this be the problem?
Edit2: I used the opton -o for debug information and got the message: mount: can't find /mnt/test/ in /etc/fstab
What I have to put into fstab?

Hi!

I personally mount the webdav share to a directory inside "user". The actual mount require the use of gainroot

I hope it was of any help.
