I want to auto mount webdav folder with bash script. My server resources very pool so I have a memory problem about webdav. Therefore, I have to umount webdav folder for clear cache and memory. But, I have to manuel mount webdav folders, after than umount command. Because, system ask to me credentail for webdav folder so, I can't do it with bash script.

I edit ~/.davfs/secret file as following format;

 username password

after than, I uncomment line secrets ~/.davfs2/secret in /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf file.

But, system still ask to me credential information.

How can I auto mount webdav ?

Thanks

Here is an article about that automount . However I had a problem mounting it in that way, but when I commented the line secrets ~/.davfs2/secrets back everything went fine.

• Install davfs2

  sudo apt-get install davfs2

• Reconfigure davfs2 to enable to use davfs under unprivileged users

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure davfs2

• Edit /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf to enable automatic credentials use.

  • Uncomment the line secrets ~/.davfs2/secrets

• Edit ~/.davfs2/secrets file to add credentials to remote WebDav diectory.

  • Add a line to the end of file in following style:

    URI> <username> <password>

  • Set the permission:

    chmod 600 ~/.davfs2/secrets

• Add a line to /etc/fstab about the remote WebDav directory

  URI> <mount point> davfs user,noauto,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1

• Add your user to the davfs2 group

  sudo vi /etc/group

  • Add your username as follows:

    davfs2:x:134:<username>

• That's it. You can use following commands without being a root user to mount/umount

  mount <mount point>

  umount <mount point>

  You can also use nautilus to mount/umount the directory.
