Kataglyphis-WebDavClient 🚀

Download files via webdav easily. Use it to communicate to cloud storage provider (e.g. Nextcloud, ownCloud, Magenta, Synology NAS, QNAPS NAS) and automate your personal storage tasks.

Other solutions (on pyPI) did not fit my needs and/or were not actively maintained

About The Project

This module provides an easy interface for communication via WebDav protocol to a remote host (f.e. you can automate downloads from your cloud). For certain use cases one might want to be able to automatically download files from your cloud. This is an easy way to do it

Usage Example:

Example usage of the method:
    from kataglyphis_webdavclient.webdavclient import WebDavClient
    
    hostname = "https://yourhost.de/webdav"
    username = "Schlawiner23"
    password = "YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN"
    remote_base_path = "MyProjectFolder"
    local_base_path = "assets"
    webdevclient = WebDavClient(args.hostname, args.username, args.password)
    webdevclient.download_all_files_iterative(
        args.remote_base_path, args.local_base_path
    )
