WebDav remote contents not found

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Looks like rclone is successfully connecting to my webdav server, but remote contents don’t display when, for example, using ls or lsd (no errors indicated, just no files / directories listed; other file sync services [e.g. foldersync] are able to see existing files and directories using the same url and credentials)

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.71.2
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 25H2 25H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.26200.6899 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.25.3
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

WebDav

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone lsd CHUB: --no-check-certificate

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

[CHUB]
type = webdav
url = https://mcm.josce.mil/mobile/airpubs/airpubs/
user = XXX
pass = XXX
vendor = other

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

Actual output of the lsd command (i.e. no result):

C:\Program Files\rclone>rclone lsd CHUB: --no-check-certificate

C:\Program Files\rclone>

welcome to the forum,

always good to double-check the url

besides rclone, what other webdav tools have you tested?

3

FolderSync for windows (https://foldersync.io/) and Goodreader for IOS (https://www.goodreader.com/)

Screenshots of FolderSync settings (tested successfully):

which is correct?
https://mcm.josce.mil/mobile/airpubs/airpubs/
or

Apologies, assume https://mcm.josce.mil/mobile/airpubs/airpubs/ is correct

Both are technically correct, the above url with the extra “airpubs” also works in FolderSync

ok, good, when i saw /airpubs/airpubs/, i thought that would be a typo

7

Also, for what it’s worth, https://mcm.josce.mil/mobile/airpubs/ gives the same lsd -vv command results in rclone (no errors indicated but no contents populated)

for a deeper look, try a dump flags, such as --dump=headers,bodies

can you provide some basic info about it?

fwiw, rclone serve webdav ... supports modtime and file verification using checksums.

dump_headers_bodies.txt (43.1 KB)

Here’s the –dump=headers,bodies output, afraid I’m a little outside my depth trying to interpret it.

I’m pretty sure “Plone” ( Plone 6 Documentation — Plone Documentation v6 ) is the vendor, referenced several times in the attached output.

10

contact Plone tech support. ask if they support rclone.

I ran the log through gpt and it was clear that plone is not being dav compliant and the server is not configured properly for serving web dav.

It offered workarounds in rclone to ignore the redirects which may work. Or how to configure the server properly.

Anyway, I'm sure you can do the same and and come to a conclusion.
