How does one deploy to webdav server?

[Kari Cowan]

I was looking for a plugin to deploy over WebDav - any such thing?

How about example over pipeline?

By WebDav you mean an SVN server? Don't think I've ever used WebDav
without SVN, but if you have a WebDav then you should be able to setup
SVN on it.

You can use SVN to publish build artificats to it. SVN is pretty good in
handling large files (contrary to a basic Git server). So you can build
stuff and commit files to an SVN repo. And then download the files in
another jobs. That should be fairly easy as long as you don't need
authorization.

No, it's a protocol, WinSCP will use it if selected.

Project files (mostly MarkLogic XQuery) for the DB are stored in GitHub, so I'd like a more automated way to pull from GH and deploy to the DB server handling those.

The most common way to handle that type of deployment with Jenkins is to perform the deployment from a command line script written in your choice of scripting languages, then run that script from an "sh" step in a Jenkins Pipeline.

That makes it easier to develop and debug and gives you the choice of scripting language that best suits your needs, interests, and skills.

If you find a Jenkins plugin that does WebDAV deployment (I am not aware of one), it then requires that you do your development and debugging from inside the Jenkins job, using the features provided by the plugin and limited by the features of the plugin.  That tends to slow your progress and make you more dependent on the plugin and its maintainer.

Jesse Glick gave a DevOps World talk that described the technique several years ago if you'd like more details.  https://youtu.be/Zeqc6--0eQw is the talk

Thanks Mark - that's some good info from Jenkins World especially.  Cheers.
