If you put it that way, the answer will be "sure, it's useful", because they don't consider the price. Much of the disaggrement was about whether or not webdav is a resonable replcament for ftp as a files server. So I figure that the best way to try this is by disabling ftp support and running webdav for a while and then ask people if it is good enough. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
