I'm trying to list files using webdab but I'm having issues. I can create directories and put files just fine but not list a directory or pull a file. I'm seeing the error, "Method not supported".
from webdav3.client import Client
options = {
'webdav_hostname': "https://___________.com/remote.php/dav/files/",
'webdav_login': "user_name",
'webdav_password': "password"
}
client = Client(options)
print(client.list('/'))
Traceback (most recent call last):

webdav3.exceptions.MethodNotSupported: Method 'list' not supported for https://________.com/remote.php/dav/files
The client.list() method assumes the remote root directory by default.
As you supply https://___________.com/remote.php/dav/files/ as your webdav_hostname the root directory it tries to access when you call client.list('/') is the top level files directory. As a Nextcloud user you don't have access to that level, so listing that is impossible. However, you do have access to the files/<username> directory, so listing client.list('/<username>/') works.
To prevent that you have prepend the username to every list command you can set the webdav_hostname to .../remote.php/dav/files/<username>. Then a call to client.list() should work straight away.
