WebDAV - Linux

Securely connect to Scramble Cloud via WebDAV – access, manage, and sync encrypted files using Explorer, Finder, Linux, or advanced tools like Rclone.

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a standardized protocol that enables remote file management over the internet. Scramble Cloud provides full WebDAV support through both the integrated desktop client and third-party tools like Rclone.

⚠️ Note: WebDAV can only be used with a Premium account. If you have a Freemium account, please use your browser for Scramble or upgrade your account to a monthly or lifetime subscription.

1. WebDAV Configuration in the Scramble Desktop Client

Within the Scramble Desktop Client, the following WebDAV settings are available:

  • HTTP Protocol — Select the protocol to use: HTTP or HTTPS.
  • Hostname — The address of the WebDAV server (e.g. 127.0.0.1).
  • Port — The port on which the WebDAV service is accessible (e.g., 1900).
  • Authentication Mode — Choose between:
    • basic – Sends username and password in plaintext
    • digest – Uses hashed credentials for increased security
  • Username / Password — Enter the login credentials used for authentication.
  • Smart Cache — Enables local caching of files to enhance performance.
