What is WebDAV?

WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1. It is an open, published standard that allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.

WebDAV supports the following features:

• Editing: You can create, update, and delete files.
  
  
• Properties: You can store metadata such as titles, author names, and publication dates. You can set, delete, and retrieve these metadata.
  
  
• Collections: You can group resources into collections that are organized like a file system, similar to a directory or desktop folder.
  
  
• Locking: You can use locks to prevent others from editing the same content you're working on in WebDAV. The duration of the locks is independent of any individual network connection.
