Davix is an open-source client for WebDAV and Amazon S3 available for Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOSX and Linux. Davix is written in C++ and provide several command-line tools and a C++ shared library.[2][3]

Davix is a tool for remote I/O, file transfer and file management based on the HTTP protocol.

Davix is used at CERN by several projects, including the ROOT data analysis framework,[4][5] the File Transfer Services (FTS),[6] the European Middleware Initiative gfal2 library [7][8] or the dynamic storage federation project.[9]

Feature support

Davix supports:

  • SSL/TLS
  • User/password authentication
  • X.509 client certificates authentication
  • Redirection caching
  • Multi-range requests (vector I/O)
  • Checksum calculation
  • Cession recycling
  • VOMS credential
  • Multi-sources via Metalink
  • SOCKS4/5
  • S3 and WebDAV operations

Examples of Davix command line use

to upload a file to a WebDAV repository 

$ davix-put local_file davs://example.com/folder1/remote_file

to download a file from a S3 bucket with AWS authentication 

$ davix-get --s3secretkey A --s3accesskey B s3://bucket1.s3-instance.com/long/path/remote_file local_file

To list a WebDAV repository over https 

$ davix-ls davs://example.com/folder1/folder2/

To list an S3 bucket with AWS authentication 

$ davix-ls --s3secretkey A --s3accesskey B s3://bucket1.s3-instance.com/

To create a subdirectory over WebDAV 

$ davix-mkdir davs://example.com/folder1/folder2/folder4

Execute an HTTP PUT request to a RESTful webservice with the content "hello"
