Wow, helpful page (zero content when I wrote this).

I'm doing this on Debian.  'sudo apt-get install davfs2' gets me the tools to mount a WebDAV server as a filesystem.  My install of Debian is old enough that I'm getting an older version of davfs (1.1.2, more recent ones can be found at http://dav.sourceforge.net/)

Edit /etc/fstab to add a mount point for SmugDAV:

    https://upload.smugmug.com/smugdav.mg /net/smugmug davfs user,noauto,ro,conf=/etc/smugdav.conf,noexec 0 0

I set some options based on reading the mount.davfs man page, but don't have any special insight here.  You might want to read that too.  (Notice I put the config file in a global spot instead of a per-user directory.)

`sudo mkdir /net/smugmug` to make the local mount point exist

`sudo mount /net/smugmug` to get the mount going.  This seems to prompt for a username and password.

`cd /net/smugmug`

`ls -la`

wait ...

it works!

Uh, it didn't actually work.  I can browse my category/subcategory hierarchy, but I don't see any files anywhere (just directories).  Smugmug isn't too useful without .jpgs.

I see on dgrin (from 2007) that Linux is known to have problems: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=64537&highlight=smugdav

Newer versions of davfs2 might have more luck?  (I'm at 1.1.2-3 on Debian 4.0)

Ugh, I should've logged in.  I'm the same anonymous person as the last two.

SmugDAV works fine from my windows XP box, so its very likely a linux problem.  One interesting aspect is the directories are named "Other" and "Weddings" under Linux instead of "C34932_Other" and "C3123_Weddings" as they are under Windows, so there is something quite different in how they are approaching this.
