In their own words

Cadaver

Cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client for Unix systems. It manages files and collections from a terminal, with commands for uploading, downloading, displaying, moving and copying resources. You can create or delete collections, lock resources, edit files in place and manipulate properties. Release 0.28, dated 18 September 2025, added the `resumeget` and `head` commands; editing uses conditional PUT where possible to reduce conflicts. Cadaver is free software under GPL-2.0, with a free plan priced at free and no trial. The official site names Joe Orton as publisher and links to a discussion forum and GitHub bug reports. Building from source uses git clone, autogen.sh, configure and make. Neon 0.29.x or later is required, while non-UTF-8 native locales require iconv or libiconv. WebDAV class 1 support is required unless tolerant mode is used.

WebDAV Manager

WebDAV Manager is a native WebDAV client for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision. It connects to servers over HTTP or HTTPS using Basic or Digest authentication. You can save multiple server profiles with separate URLs, ports, credentials, and settings, then browse folders, create folders, upload, download, share, or delete files. The app previews text, PDFs, images, and videos, and shows thumbnails in file lists. Connections can be configured by pasting a complete server URL or entering fields individually. The maker says credentials, server URLs, and files remain on the device and move only between it and the configured WebDAV server; the app collects no personal data or sends data to its own servers. The free app is listed at free and 2 MB. Requirements include iOS or iPadOS 16, macOS 13 on Apple M1 or later, or visionOS 1.
