This question needs a little more detail about the working environment to
obtain sensible answer.

WebDAV works using http(s) protocol. That means one can retrieve data from a
WebDAV service, providing one has authorization to access, via any web browser
or command line utility like curl, fetch, and wget.

If one is using a GDM like gnome/mate then the Nautilus file browser can
connect to a webDAV server. Again presuming that one has the authentication
credentials which give authorized access to the WebDAV resource.

FreeBSD also has a fusefs module for setting up a WebDAV resource as a
filesystem that makes it appear as a local resource to the OS.

I did not find a working fusefs package for webdav, could you please
elaborate ?

Is said to work only with apache and sabreDav, I never succeeded in
maing it work with nextcloud as server.

So for me it is not a "working" package, alas

Is there a document somewhere documenting all the "gotchas" on doing a
FreeBSD 13.0 binary upgrades now-a-days?
Such as
*) additional zpools won't auto-import on boot until
'freebsd-update' is run again after boot to install new userland.
(Bad news if you leave your home directories on a secondary zpool and
don't have access to console and have best practice of not allowing root ssh
in).

Enable the toor user and set it up to allow passwordless logons only.

I assume you mean set up sshd to only allow key based authentication
rather than having toor with no password - but I think that should be made
clear :)
