Currently OOo supports only basic features, not more than for ftp. You can open the folders in the file dialog, you can create, open and save files. Access to files and folders can be password protected or not. Locking is currently not supported. One advantage over ftp is that WebDAV folder access also works through a proxy, while the usual ftp-over-http-proxy does allow only file access, not folder access. I assume this isn't interesting for your environment, but I wanted to mention it. I nevertheless recommend WebDAV instead of ftp because it is the better technologie on server side and we might add more features in further versions of OOo.
