About

Neocities supports WebDAV, which allows you to mount your Neocities share on your computer, or use a client on your computer to manage your site.

Instructions

Due to the variable quality of other WebDAV clients, we strongly recommend using Cyberduck or WinSCP for a WebDAV client, or Mountain Duck for mounting the site as a hard drive on your computer, and may not be able to provide support for other clients.

Cyberduck

In Cyberduck, click "Open Connection", select "WebDAV (HTTPS), add neocities.org, username, and password. Then click "More Options", and add /webdav for the path.

WinSCP

When creating a connetion, choose "WebDAV" for protocol, select "SSL" for encryption, then enter neocities.org for server name, port 443, username and password. Before connecting, click "Advanced", select "Directories" and add /webdav to the Remote directory input.



Linux (GUI)

  1. Open Nautilus.
  2. Press CTRL-L to show the location bar.
  3. Type davs://neocities.org/webdav into location bar.
  4. Enter your login into the popup.

Linux (command line)

cadaver is an excellent command line client for WebDAV and is available through apt with Ubuntu.

Linux (mount as filesystem)

To mount the WebDAV as a folder in your filesystem use the davfs2 package.

Accessing multiple sites

By default you can use your username/password combination to access your parent site via WebDAV. In case you want to access your child sites with WebDAV, you only need to use the site's subdomain name as the username (with the same password for your parent account).
