Davenport is a Java-based WebDAV-to-smb gateway. It allows you
to offer a WebDAV service that accesses files on a samba server,
windows server, etc.

Perhaps if I give still more background about it, someone will care:
all major OS's now include some kind of webdav client. MSIE 5+ has
web folders; firefox has plugins; MacOS has it natively. They all do
https. So this is a way for your users to have a secure, no-client file
transfer service (I.e. replace ftp with something better)
Thanks. I'd prefer to see a package that only installed davenport itself,
either as a jar + files or as a war file, not the surrounding jetty
baggage -
I'm already running Tomcat, and davenport is just a servlet, so (modulo
dependencies) it should "just work" in any servlet container.
If you are going to install Jetty, you should try to configure it so it does
its scribbling in /var, not in /usr/local (e.g., I don't like this:
@mode 0770
@owner root
@group _davenport
davenport/logs/
It seems annoying at times, but there are good reasons for not allowing
ports to
create log files under /usr/local. This is also why JBossAS hasn't been
submitted yet;
I haven't got the separation of directories working yet.
It can be done, though: both Tomcat and Apache-httpd (and all or most
other servers in
ports) have been set up to do it. Take a look at how it's done for Tomcat.
