SyncVisor

WebDAV and rclone

Use compatible tools when the job calls for them

Native apps remain the daily path. WebDAV and rclone are for migration, copy, sync checks, mounts, and automation.

Goal

Prove a compatible tool path

Finish with a configured WebDAV client or rclone remote that can list, copy, and verify a small file.

Before

Before you start

  • The server is running.
  • You can sign in with a SyncVisor username and password.
  • The certificate warning, if any, is understood and resolved.
  • You have a small test file ready.
rclone
A short rclone check confirms that listing and copy work before a larger workflow.

1. Copy the WebDAV URL

Open Server Manager and copy the WebDAV address. It should end with /webdav/.

2. Configure rclone

rclone config
name: syncvisor
type: webdav
url: https://<server-address>:<port>/webdav/
vendor: other
user: <syncvisor-username>
pass: <syncvisor-password>

3. Run small checks

rclone lsd syncvisor:
rclone ls "syncvisor:My Drive"
rclone copy ./test.txt "syncvisor:My Drive/"
rclone check ./test-folder "syncvisor:My Drive/test-folder"

4. Connect GUI WebDAV clients

  • Cyberduck: choose WebDAV HTTPS and paste the endpoint.
  • macOS Finder: use Go, Connect to Server.
  • Windows Explorer: add a network location with the WebDAV URL.

5. Understand the root layout

/webdav/
  My Drive/
  Computers/
  Shared/

Success check

You can list My Drive, copy one test file, and verify that the file appears in a native app or the WebUI.
