Best way to connect to Webdav on Sharepoint with NTLM Authentication Ubuntu 12.10

Solution 1:

I faced the same issue.

So I rebuilt the package from source. I struggled to find a way to rebuild davfs2 with libneon27 instead of libneon27-gnutls. This question is closed (I think incorrectly). So I had to figure it out (not very complicated anyway)

1. Install libneon with proper OpenSSL sudo apt-get install libneon27 libneon27-dev
2. Remove existing davfs2 if you already have it sudo apt-get remove davfs2
3. Download davfs2 from source. I used version 1.5.2
4. Untar the file you just downloaded (something like tar -xzvf davfs2-1.5.2.tar.gz will work)
5. Change to the directory and launch ./configure
6. Build with make
7. Install with sudo make install

Once you've built davfs with the proper binding, you can use davfs to mount a folder with something like (you may need to be root)

mount.davfs <url> <folder> -o ro

You'll be asked for credentials unless you configure your secret files. See more information at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/mount.davfs.8.html
