I'm unable to automatically log in to a webdav server using cadaver. I've set up my ~/.netrc file as suggested: 

machine https://webdav.server.com/
    login me
    password password

and changed the permissions using chmod 600 so that 'ls -l ~/.netrc' returns

-rw------- 1 root root 78 Aug 10 15:52 /home/local/WIN/me/.netrc

Yet when I run cadaver, I'm still prompted for a login: 

WIN\me@local:/var/www$ sudo cadaver
WARNING: Untrusted server certificate presented for `*.server.com':

Certificate is valid from Thu, 16 Apr 2015 00:00:00 GMT to Sun, 15 Apr 2018 23:59:59 GMT
Do you wish to accept the certificate? (y/n)

And then after typing yes: 

Authentication required for ESGDAV-LDAP on server `webdav.server.com':
Username:

This is on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, with cadaver 0.23.3. I'm able to log in manually without a problem. Is this a permissions issue? Or did I put the .netrc file in the wrong location?

I found this question because I had the same problem.

It worked for me when in ~/.netrc instead of

machine http://this.is.url

i wrote

machine this.is.url

In ~/.cadaverrc you can put line

open https://webdav.example.com/

In ~/.netrc put

default
login %login%
password %password%
