We use Davenport, for this and other reasons. Very nice for workstations (Ximain for example) that don't "really" support CIFS. WebDAV is typically faster and more stable than bolted on CIFS support. > an alternative could be to use sftp, filezilla for example. but the > advantage of webdav is, that msoffice is webdav enabled, so opening and > saving files can be done directly to webdav resources, as far as i know... > (please correct me if i'm wrong) Yes, it works. Although it seems to depend on you version of Windows - how well it works seems to come and go with every hot fix or service pack.
