We would like to install the FTP plugin for XMLmind Professional Edition. 
Our IT folks have an understandable concern: does this plugin implement
SFTP (SSH FTP)?  Unless it does, IT doesn't want to use it because of the
security hole (and I guess I have to say I agree).

There's also a "WebDAV virtual drive plug-in" which apparently allows
https (but not sftp) access, but neither the IT person I spoke to, nor I,
knows what that is...and the Wikipedia article on it makes it look like
Windows support for WebDAV is shaky at best.  I just checked our Linux
machine; it has 'cadaver' (who chose that name??), a WebDAV client, but
it's not clear what you have to do to set up a WebDAV server on Linux.
