      basic_auth: false,
      strategy : 'SNAPSHOT',

      overwrite_release : false,
    },
    deploy: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
      files: {

Usage Examples

Snapshot Options

In this example, the contents of the dev directory are put into SNAPSHOT.zip on the remote webdav archive

grunt.initConfig({
  webdav: {
    options: {
      snapshot_path : 'http://example.com/incoming/snapshots/myrepo'
    },
    files: {
      'dev/**/*'
    },
  },
})

Release Options

In this example, the contents of the production directory are put into mymodule-0.0.1.zip on the remote webdav archive

grunt.initConfig({
  webdav: {
    options: {
      release_path : 'me:user@https://example.com/incoming/releases/myrepo'
      strategy : 'RELEASE'
    },
    files: {
      'production/**/*'
    },
  },
})

Using the following package.json

{
  "name": "mymodule",
  "description": "An example of a module using the grunt-deploy-webdav plugin",
