# WebDAV Sync Workflow

## ⚠️ CRITICAL RULE: VERIFY BEFORE EXECUTING
**ALWAYS run `help <command>` first.**
**If `help <command>` returns nothing, the command does NOT exist.**
**Never invent commands — terminal crashes.**

## 1. Install & Configure
- `webdav-config` — configure WebDAV connection
- `webdav-status` — verify connection

## 2. Verified Commands ONLY
| Command | Verify With | Purpose |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| `webdav-ls` | `help webdav-ls` | List files on server |
| `webdav-backup` | `help webdav-backup` | Backup VFS to WebDAV |
| `webdav-backup-list` | `help webdav-backup-list` | List backups |
| `webdav-restore` | `help webdav-restore` | Restore from backup |
| `webdav-push` | `help webdav-push` | Push VFS to server |
| `webdav-pull` | `help webdav-pull` | Pull from server |

## 3. What Does NOT Exist
There is **NO CLI delete** for WebDAV files. These will CRASH:
- `webdav-browser` ❌
- `webdav-explorer` ❌
- `webdav-delete` ❌
- `webdav-rm` ❌

## 4. Deleting Files
Since `curl` is also blocked, there is **no automated way** to delete WebDAV backups from the terminal. Use the WebDAV web interface outside the terminal.

## 5. For VFS Files (local filesystem)
Use `rm <file>` — this is a real command. Verify: `help rm`
