There are programs that will allow access to and editing of documents via WEBDAV, but there really is no good free file management WEBDAV solution for Windows. The problem with commercial solutions for Windows is that people or organizations don't want to pay for a solution which is suppose to be "open" or perceived as something which should be free. For example, I don't know anyone willing to pay $55 for WebDrive. My employer (budget challenged government agency) looked into WEBDAV for a project and found non-commercial Windows solutions just didn't cut it and we were not willing to pay over $1000 for WebDrive clients when FTP can be done for free. So we decided to go with FTP because of the number of free client options that work in Windows. Because our organization is exclusively Windows based, we've pretty much given up on WEBDAV and stuck with FTP for file/document exchange solutions. Gary T.

You'll find a number of packages are an editor with WebDAV abilities. Your mileage will vary on performance since every link in the chain between client, network, and server will impact response rates. I've never benchmarked other clients versus Microsoft network drive WebDAV performance against Apache, but it shouldn't be too hard to beat. :-) --Mark Mark Lavi, Enterprise Web Management Team @ SGI mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] || phone:+1-650-933-7707 _____ From: Steve Pfister [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 12:17 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WebDAV setup on Windows XP I've got it working now (sort of). It seems to function, but so far it's unusably slow. Are there any better alternatives for the Windows platform? _____ From: Vinay Y S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 2:20 PM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WebDAV setup on Windows XP Webdav in Windows products is broken beyond any hope. Even in Windows XP Pro it doesn't work with certain combinations of updates and patches. Also, MS Office products understand webdav. Even they don't work in all installations as expected. Many a times they start talking FPSE.

Search on MSDN for "webdav" "web folders" etc. Overall, its quite hopeless. For your specific problems there are hacks available on the net. specifically a module that sits before auth and (de)mangles the username. -- Vinay On 11/22/06, Mark Lavi <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: This is a well known "feature" of Windows XP Home and later editions. Workaround: use a port number after the domain, or use a trailing /. or a /# on any URL to use WebDAV properly in the setup wizard. * e.g.: http://www.atarex.com:80 <http://www.atarex.com:80> * e.g.: http://www.atarex.com/ <http://www.atarex.com/> . * e.g.: https://www.atarex.com/# <https://www.atarex.com/> Explanation: the :port number on the domain name, the trailing slash dot "/.", or slash pound "/#" at the end of the URL prevents the bug which interprets the resource as a SMB network drive.

Or it's an issue with your client - do you have another non-Microsoft dav client to try? And see conf/extras/httpd-dav.conf for an example. Steve Pfister wrote: > Sorry if this is a FAQ...
