WebDAV Commands

Commands for file operations on B2C Commerce instance WebDAV.

Global WebDAV Flags

These flags are available on all WebDAV commands:

Root Directory

Flag	Description	Default
--root, -r	WebDAV root directory	impex

Available roots:

• impex - Impex directory (default)
• temp - Temporary files
• cartridges - Code cartridges
• realmdata - Realm data
• catalogs - Product catalogs
• libraries - Content libraries
• static - Static resources
• logs - Log files
• securitylogs - Security log files

Authentication

WebDAV commands require authentication to access instance files.

Basic Auth (Recommended)

Basic Auth provides better performance for WebDAV operations using your Business Manager username and WebDAV access key:

export SFCC_USERNAME=my-user
export SFCC_PASSWORD=my-webdav-access-key
b2c webdav ls

Or via flags:

b2c webdav ls -u my-user -p my-access-key

OAuth

OAuth can also be used with an Account Manager API Client:

export SFCC_CLIENT_ID=my-client
export SFCC_CLIENT_SECRET=my-secret
b2c webdav ls

Mixed Authentication

For operations that require both WebDAV and OCAPI (like code deploy), you can provide both:

export SFCC_USERNAME=my-user
export SFCC_PASSWORD=my-access-key
export SFCC_CLIENT_ID=my-client
export SFCC_CLIENT_SECRET=my-secret
b2c code deploy
