<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 folder name, a list of files and folders will be
|
|
displayed, and you can manipulate these folders 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>
