Yes, we've got a bunch of people here using IE5x to update our sites via
webDAV. You just open IE and click File->Open->(O)pen as web folder and
then put in the URL. You then see the site much as you would if Indexing
were somehow left enabled and can then drag-n-drop your files and folders.
You'll need to have dav_module loaded in your webserver conf file, and then
have a "DAV On" line in your <Directory> directive. There are other
options as well. The documentation for a first-time DAV newbie is pretty
dismal.. maybe the latest versions of the various Apache books (I tend to
gravitated towards O'Reilly & Assoc...) have better info.
DAV is really great for this as it keeps users in their comfort zone of a
GUI-based OS (you wouldn't believe the comical horror of some pure Windoze
users at a command-line session...).
