This is a good idea! I did try to get this working but I could not. The client, right now, is Windows 10, and the server is Arch/Nextcloud snap. When I try to use, in Windows 10, ‘net use n: https://192.168.1.10/remote.php/dav/files/paul /user:paul “thepass”’ I get “The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not been authenticated.”
I get a similar message (relating to failure to authenticate) when trying to use the Explorer shell to do the same thing. “thepass” is in quotes because the real password has weird chars that the command line delimits upon.
