Send-WebDAV Cmdlet
Parameters Output Objects Configuration Settings
The Send-WebDAV cmdlet implements an easy-to-use interface to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV).
Syntax
Send-WebDAV [parameters]
Remarks
The cmdlet allows the adding new resources and posting data to existing resources.
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.
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.
# create a new resource at http://localhost/temp/test.html
send-webdav -uri http:
//localhost/temp/ -localfile C:\test.html -method put
# create a new resource at http://localhost/test1.html
send-webdav -uri http:
//localhost/test1.html -localfile C:\test.html -method put
# post data to an existing resource
send-webdav -uri http:
//localhost/temp -data $data -method post
