Introduction

WebDAV is a protocol used to manage files and folders on USP web servers. WebDAV, an extension of the HTTP protocol created to facilitate just this sort of network collaboration. WebDAV stands (loosely) for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning." DAV is an IETF Proposed Standard (RFC2518), open source, and available for development. The original specification was created to allow web developers to easily collaborate on websites and network-based content, but over time, WebDAV specification has been extended to include file locking, versioning control, and other more exotic functions.

We recommend using WebDAV when accessing folders through the Macintosh Chooser or Windows Neighborhood Network
