Windows and Mac users can mount a "web folder" or some such to access DAV directories without any need for extra client software. The advantages on the server are many: no wacky connection tracking/firewall holes necessary, robustness, flexibility, ease, and security of apache (adding SSL and/or digest authentication is also very easy). good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- Microsoft has argued that open source is bad for business, but you have to ask, "Whose business?
