WebDAV File System Access

The server provides complete file system access to your NextCloud instance, enabling you to:

• Browse any directory structure
• Read and write files of any type
• Create and delete directories
• Manage your NextCloud files directly through LLM interactions

Usage Examples:

# List files in root directory
await nc_webdav_list_directory("")

# Browse a specific folder
await nc_webdav_list_directory("Documents/Projects")

# Read a text file
content = await nc_webdav_read_file("Documents/readme.txt")

# Create a new directory
await nc_webdav_create_directory("NewProject/docs")

# Write content to a file
await nc_webdav_write_file("NewProject/docs/notes.md", "# My Notes\n\nContent here...")

# Delete a file or directory
await nc_webdav_delete_resource("old_file.txt")

# Move or rename a file
await nc_webdav_move_resource("document.txt", "new_name.txt")

# Move a file to another directory
await nc_webdav_move_resource("document.txt", "Archive/document.txt")

# Move a directory
await nc_webdav_move_resource("Projects/OldProject", "Projects/NewProject")

# Copy a file
await nc_webdav_copy_resource("document.txt", "document_copy.txt")

# Copy a file to another directory
