For a lot of applications - yes. It's very easy to setup and allows you to map through proxy servers. So for instance, there's a group of us that ride together but we are scattered about the area. I put up a spread sheet on a webDAV server and everybuddy maps to the server and has access to the spread sheet for entering mileage into the spreadsheet. Doesn't matter what OS they're using, or the fact that the server is remotely located to us all. Check out the cadeaver command line tool, I use it all the time and the Dav file system, which may now be a standard part of the major distributions. DAVfs allows you to use the mount command to mount a DAV resource to your local file system.
Many commercial products are using it behind the scenes, including Hotmail, Adobe, Macromedia, etc. Ed On Fri, 2002-05-31 at 15:07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > In a message dated: 31 May 2002 15:02:09 EDT > Ed Robbins said: > > >It's used quite extensively as a distributed file system and this is > >what I primarily use it for.
