<span class="emphasis"><em>A</em></span>uthoring and <span class="emphasis"><em>V</em></span>ersioning
protocol for the World Wide Web. It allows for easy management of
documents and scripts on a <acronym class="acronym">HTTP</acronym> server, and has
additional features designed to simplify version management amongst
multiple authors.</p><p>Usage of this protocol is simple. Type the location you want to
view, similar to a <acronym class="acronym">HTTP</acronym> <acronym class="acronym">URL</acronym> except for the
webdav:// protocol name at the start. An example is
<strong class="userinput"><code>webdav://<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="replaceable"><em class="replaceable"><code>www.hostname.com/path/</code></em></span></code></strong>.
If you specify a folder name, a list of files and folders will be
displayed, and you can manipulate these folders and files just as you
would with any other filesystem.</p><div class="variablelist"><p class="title"><b>WebDAV Features</b></p><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">Locking</span></dt><dd><p>File locking allows users to lock a file, informing others that they
