Hetzner Storage Box; WebDAV access not working with sub-accounts.

elijahpaul

Can anyone confirm if they've successfully connected to a sub-account on their Hetzner Storage Box via WebDAV?

Specifically sub-accounts are failing for me,

> sudo mount -t davfs https://u000000-sub1.your-storagebox.de /mnt/z
Please enter the username to authenticate with server
https://u000000-sub1.your-storagebox.de or hit enter for none.
  Username: u000000-sub1
Please enter the password to authenticate user u000000-sub1 with server
https://u000000-sub1.your-storagebox.de or hit enter for none.
  Password:
/sbin/mount.davfs: mounting failed; the server does not support WebDAV

WebDAV is enabled on both the main and sub-account(s).

I have no issue connecting via WebDAV on the main account,

> sudo mount -t davfs https://u000000.your-storagebox.de /mnt/z
Please enter the username to authenticate with server
https://u000000.your-storagebox.de or hit enter for none.
  Username: u000000
Please enter the password to authenticate user u000000 with server
https://u000000.your-storagebox.de or hit enter for none.
  Password:
❯ ls -alh /mnt/z

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   0 Jun 28 12:06 TEST
drwx------ 2 root root   0 Jun 28 13:05 lost+found

just sub-accounts. Am I doing something wrong?

P.S. Hetzner Support is still investigating. Just wanted to ask if anyone else is experiencing this.

Update: Hetzner Support figured out that I wasn't able to access the sub-account via WebDAV with read-only enabled. I attempted to mount the read-only sub-account with the davfs command read-only option;

sudo mount -t davfs -o ro https://u000000-sub1.your-storagebox.de /mnt/z

but that failed. Asked Hetzner Support if they could provide an example of any client that can connect to a sub-account with read-only enabled via WebDAV and they told me to, 'Google it' (which I had already done).

Can anyone here provide any insight as to whether or not this is even possible?

I use a read only sub account for hetzner storage box. I don't mount the WebDAV, but I do use it.

Can you login correctly through your browser?

elijahpaul

Thank you. Will try this.

(I also use read-only sub-accounts with other protocols (SFTP/SSH) without issue. WebDAV seems to be the only one not working)

elijahpaul

@mwt Browser login (https://) works fine. Any ideas?

elijahpaul

Hetzner just got back to me confirming that davfs and Windows will fail to access a sub-account via WebDAV if read-only is enabled.

Maybe Rclone will work?

@mwt Thanks. Will try. I Think I may have to look into other protocols though.

Can confirm as soon as it's a sub account + read only webdav doesn't work. Tried it with rclone also doesn't work.
