Configuring Linux
All major Linux distros supports accessing of FileAgo WebDrive endpoint using davfs2
.
davfs2 is a Linux file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV server as a disk drive.
Run the following commands as root
user:
Install davfs2
CentOS / RHEL:
# yum install davfs2
Ubuntu:
# apt-get install davfs2
Mount WebDrive using command-line
The commands you see below connects to a WebDrive endpoint at https://acmeinc.fileago.io/webdrive/suehome/
as user sue@acmeinc.com
and then mounts it to /mnt
in the local system.
Make sure to replace the values to reflect your actual configuration, or the command will fail.
# mount -t davfs -o noexec,user,uid=davfs2,gid=davfs2 https://acmeinc.fileago.io/webdrive/suehome/ /mnt/
Please enter the username to authenticate with server
https://acmeinc.fileago.io/webdrive/suehome/ or hit enter for none.

If everything goes well, you should now see your data in /mnt/. You can confirm this using:
# ls -l /mnt/
Auto-mount during bootup
The above mount is not permanent. You will have to execute the same commands again after each reboot. In order to mount the share automatically during bootup, add the below entry to /etc/fstab
file..
https://acmeinc.fileago.io/webdrive/suehome/ /mnt davfs _netdev,noexec,user,uid=davfs2,gid=davfs2 0 0
.. and add the mount’s credentials to file /etc/davfs2/secrets
. For e.g.:
/mnt sue@acmeinc.com "mystrongpassword"
That’s it! FileAgo WebDrive endpoint is now configured for use in your Linux system now.
