Web DAV
Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (
Web DAV) extends the HTTP/1.1 protocol to allow clients to publish, lock, and manage resources on the Web. Integrated into IIS,
Web DAV allows clients to do the following:
- Manipulate resources in a Web DAV publishing directory on your server. For example, with this feature, users with the correct permissions can copy and move files around in a Web DAV directory.
- Modify properties associated with certain resources. For example, a user can write to and retrieve a file's property information.
- Lock and unlock resources so that multiple users can read a file concurrently, but only one person at a time can modify the file.
- Search the content and properties of files in a Web DAV directory.
Setting up a
Web DAV publishing directory on your server is as straightforward as setting up a virtual directory through the IIS
snap-in. Once you have set up your publishing directory, users with the correct permissions can publish documents to the server and manipulate files in the directory. Before you can set up a
Web DAV directory, you must install Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
I have expirience to setup
Web DAV using Apache webserver. For using my server as webdirectory.
