Get-WebDAV Cmdlet
Parameters Output Objects Configuration Settings
The Get-WebDAV cmdlet implements an easy-to-use interface to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV).
Syntax
Get-WebDAV [parameters]
Remarks
The cmdlet allows remote management of resource properties and collections, including listing and copying.
The List parameter will list the properties of a resource collection or resource, returning a DAVURIInfo object for each matching resource.
The Download parameter will download a resource from the DAV server, and a DAVFile object will be returned to signal the status of the transfer.
Depth is used to determine how the properties are retrieved. A depth of "0" will return only the properties associated with ResourceURI. A depth of "1" will return those properties, plus those of the member URIs. A depth of "infinity" (default) will return all properties of all the resources in the hierarchy.
A number of operations can be performed on resources by using the various parameters of the cmdlet. Please refer to the individual parameters for more information.
The cmdlets support pipeline input for some of their parameters. Prebuilding an object and piping it to the cmdlet is very useful, but should be used with caution to prevent security conflicts. Steps have been taken to decrease the risk of a possibly accidental pipe to the cmdlet, for instance, the Credential parameter cannot be piped to the cmdlet and must be specified manually.
