Ubuntu: Mounted a WebDAV share, shows up in Nautilus, but where is it in the filesystem?

I'd like to create a simple command line script that will copy some files from ~/myfiles to files on a WebDAV-mounted filesystem over a network connection. I can easily click on places and bookmarks, enter the password/username combo and it'll mount from within Nautilus, but I can't find the location of the filesystem anywhere with the mount command so I can't very well do anything non-GUI to manipulate files.

"As @andreas-h noted in 2014, these days you'll find your WebDAV shares mounted under /run/user/1000/gvfs, where 1000 is the user ID of your user.

Answer valid until sometime between 2009 and 2014:

Afaik, shares mounted via the 'Connect to Server' tool in Nautilus end up under ~/.gvfs. However, there were some issues navigating webdav shares mounted via this tool, see this bug report."
