<para><acronym>WebDAV</acronym> is a <emphasis>D</emphasis>istributed
|
|
<emphasis>A</emphasis>uthoring and <emphasis>V</emphasis>ersioning protocol
|
|
for
|
|
the World Wide Web. It allows for easy management of documents and scripts
|
|
on a
|
|
<ulink url="help:/tdeioslave/webdav.html">http</ulink> server, and has
|
|
additional
|
|
features designed to simplify version management amongst multiple
|
|
authors.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Usage of this protocol is simple. Type the location you want to view,
|
|
similar to a <acronym>http</acronym> URL except for the webdav:// protocol
|
|
name at the start. An example is
|
|
<userinput>webdav://<replaceable>www.hostname.com/path/</replaceable></userinput>.
|
|
If you specify a directory name, a list of files and directories will be
|
|
displayed,
|
|
and you can manipulate these directories and files just as you would with
|
|
any
|
|
other filesystem.</para>

<para>File locking allows users to lock a file, informing others that they
|
|
are
|
|
currently working on this file. This way, editing can be done without fear
|
|
that
|
|
the changes may be overwritten by another person who is also editing the
|
|
same
|
|
document.</para>

<para>To take advantage of these additional capabilities, you will need an

through
