A WebDAV client that lives next to your databases.
Mongrel talks to Nextcloud, ownCloud, IIS, and other DAV servers with PROPFIND, GET, PUT, DELETE, MKCOL, and MOVE — in the same File Manager as FTP, S3, Azure Blob, and SMB.

// Connections → File Transfer → WebDAV
Paste the collection URL, not the web UI.
Test Connection lists that collection once, then Save. Authorize a local folder when prompted; Mongrel remembers it for this profile. Custom CA uses the same picker as FTPS. Native roots stay trusted; the PEM is added.
// What ships
DAV with a real file manager.
Nextcloud, ownCloud, IIS, and generic DAV
Point File Transfer at the DAV collection URL, not the web UI. Typical Nextcloud form: https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/<user>/.
The same File Manager
WebDAV is a File Transfer profile. Dual panes, Name/Size sort, a non-selectable .. row, remembered local folders, and the Transfers drawer match FTP and S3.
PROPFIND, GET, PUT, MOVE
Listings use PROPFIND Depth 1. Folders are collections. Rename is MOVE. New folders use MKCOL. Uploads are a single PUT.
Range Resume
Downloads can Resume a local .name.mongrel-partial with HTTP Range. After finalize, Mongrel re-hashes the dest (SHA-256). Several files can transfer at once.
Basic or bearer, keychain only
Username and password, or a bearer token stored like a password. Custom CA uses the same picker as FTPS. Secrets never enter Connection Sync or export.
// Limits
What this WebDAV client does not pretend to be.
There is no POSIX chmod and no S3-style presigned URL. Uploads are a single PUT, not chunked resumable STOR. Use a Nextcloud app password rather than the account password when the server offers one.
// FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is Mongrel a WebDAV client?
Yes. Connections → New Connection → File Transfer → WebDAV creates a standalone profile. Connect or Open File Manager to browse the collection in the same dual-pane File Manager used for FTP and S3.
Which servers work?
Nextcloud, ownCloud, IIS, and other DAV servers that speak PROPFIND, GET, PUT, DELETE, MKCOL, and MOVE. Use the DAV path, not /index.php or the web UI.
Can I resume a WebDAV download?
Yes. File Manager Resume continues a partial local file with HTTP Range. Uploads overwrite or skip; they are a single PUT. Unfinished jobs stay in the durable queue until you reopen this profile.
Are downloads locked without a license?
No. Listing, download, and the local folder picker stay available. Open, Test, uploads, and remote mutations require an active license or trial.
