WebDav Client on Linux

"Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV), an extension to the HTTP-protocol, allows authoring of resources on a remote web server. davfs2 provides the ability to access such resources like a typical filesystem, allowing for use by standard applications with no built-in support for WebDAV." (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2)
While working on IBM WebSphere Portal 8 theme customization, I had a few issues copying and pasting from Nautilus builtin webdav client (Centos). This is the easy way of mounting a webdav share from the command line.
 
1. Install davfs2
          sudo yum install davfs2

2. Mount remote resource (you might be prompted for credentials)
          sudo mount -t davfs http://localhost:8000/webdav  /mnt/dav

3. Access the remote resource locally in /mnt/dav directory.

Creating a Custom WebSphere Portal 8 Theme with the Eclipse IDE

This is a very good IBM article on how to get started with your own custom theme for WebSphere Portal 8:  Deploying and developing IBM WebSphere Portal 8 themes: A step-by-step guide A couple of notes: While the article is mentioning RAD as a preffered tool, I was successfully able to use Eclipse IDE (with the WAS 8 server connector plugin provided by IBM).  I was working on Linux and I used the command line to mount the WebDAV shares ( WebDav Client on Linux ). You can also use Nautilus to connect to the WebDAV shares.
