How does one go about setting up a macOS High Sierra wfsctl
WebDAV server to use with application such as Password Wallet? Does any one have a good set of notes for setting up a wfsctl
server?
Use Case
wfsctl
WebDAV server now ships with macOS High Sierra. The context of this question is for mainstream macOS High Sierra, and not any macOS Server software.
Applications (such as PasswordWallet) would use basic username password authentication to access a WebDAV server.
Background:
At this time, search on various apple.com
urls only returned one result, "Prepare your institution for ... macOS High Sierra ...", which just states:
You won’t be able to set up file sharing with iOS devices in macOS Server 5.4. ... If you want to configure WebDAV sharing on a Mac with macOS Server 5.4, see the wfsctl(8) manual page.
The wfsctl
man page (on regular macOS High Sierra) provides technical command information. However, the man page does not provide a example setup or getting started guide.
So far, internet searches for wfsctl
use on macOS High Sierra has not yielded much additional information about using wfsctl
.
Finally, while there are many Apache WebDAV guides available, my initial wfsctl
experimenting started with the unexpected wfsctl
will start
but not stop
the related Apache httpd
services.
So, does any one have a good set of summary notes specific to setting up a wfsctl
WebDAV server and how to navigate through any "quirks" of a wfsctl
system? (i.e. not general Apache WebDAV links.)
