WebDAV

WebDAV allows you to upload files directly to a web server over the HTTP channel, instead of requiring a separate FTP server.  The BSOE uses WebDAV to allow users to upload content to our web server whenever a CMS, such as Drupal, is not being used.

Microsoft Windows and Macintosh have built-in support for WebDAV.  Most Unix-like operating systems come with Cadaver.  Many web editing tools, such as Dreamweaver and Contribute, come with build-in WebDAV clients.
