WebDAV

[edit] _From Wikipedia:

WebDAV is an IETF working group. The abbreviation stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning. The term is also used to refer to the protocol (more accurately, the extension to the HTTP protocol) which the group defined.

The WebDAV protocol's aim is to make the World Wide Web a readable and writable medium, in line with Tim Berners-Lee's original vision. It provides functionality to create, change and move documents on a remote server (typically a web server). This is useful, among other things, for authoring the documents which a web server serves, but can also be used for general web-based file storage, that can be accessed from anywhere. Most modern operating systems provide built-in support for WebDAV, making it as easy to use files on a WebDAV server (almost) as if they were stored in a local directory.
