Netwerk drive
- In the file manager (windows explorer) select "This PC".
- Right click on the panel background and select "Add a network location".
- Double-click the icon and enter: https://nextcloud.bladzij.de/remote.php/dav/files/max_musterman/ (replace max_musterman with your own login credentials).
- Double-click on "Chose a custom network location".
- Complete the "login dialog".
Commandline / shell
NB: this way is particularly useful if you want to get files from the nextcloud instance on beethoven to you home directory on liszt.
- Install rclone from here
- Configure a remote (this is our nextcloud site) using the rclone config command option n
- Give the remote a name (e.g. uog)
- Select storage type webdav (number 29)
- Supply the URL which you can get from the nextcloud files page, bottom left when clicking on settings, e.g. https://nextcloud.bladzij.de/remote.php/dav/files/max_musterman/
- Select vendor nextcloud, option 1
- Enter your username e.g. max_musterman
- Enter your password
- No need to supply bearer_token nor invoking advanced config
- More info here
- Test using something like this: rclone ls uog:/ or this: rclone lsd uog:/
- Copy a local file to the remote: rclone copy my-special-word-file.doc uog:/Documents/
- rtfm (i.e. man rclone or rclone -h)
Examples
Show the configuration file in/on the terminal window:
(base) jan@beethoven:~$ cd .config/rclone/ (base) jan@beethoven:~/.config/rclone$ cat rclone.conf
