FTP Server
The NetWare FTP Server provides FTP service for transferring files to and
from NetWare volumes. FTP Server can be used to post new Web content to
your Enterprise Web Server, or to post or retrieve documents from your
NetWare file server.
WebDAV
Web-distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an industry standard
protocol. It is an enhancement to the HTTP protocol, turning the Web into a
document database that enables collaborative creation, editing and searching
from remote locations. Whereas HTTP only supports the reading of files,
WebDAV enables documents to be written using HTTP.
Because of WebDAV’s versioning control, Web users can use a Web browser
to write, edit and save shared documents without overwriting each others'
work.
HINT: You must be using eDirectory as your directory service and Internet
Explorer as your browser if you want to use WebDAV. For more information about
publishing content to your Web server, see Chapter 6, “Managing Server Content,”
on page 61.
