In Linux (and other POSIX compliant operating systems) you can connect a local directory (~/experiment in this example) to the Webdav resource (replace USER with your username):

   sudo apt install davfs2 # make sure to allow non root users (setuid root)

   sudo apt install davfs2 # no need to allow non root users (setuid root)

   mkdir ~/experiment

   mkdir ~/experiment

   mount.davfs https://exp.socsci.ru.nl/experiment/webdav.php ~/experiment -o rw

   sudo mount.davfs https://exp.socsci.ru.nl/experiment/webdav.php ~/experiment -o rw,uid=USER,gid=USER

 

If you accidentally did not allow non-root users access, run:

 

  sudo usermod -a -G davfs2 $USER
