Web-Based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, Or Webdav, Is a Set of Extensions to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Whic

Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, or WebDAV, is a set of extensions to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote World Wide Web servers. The protocol's aim was to make the Web a readable and writable medium. It provides functionality to create, change and move documents on a remote server (typically a web server or "web share"). This is useful for, among other things, 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. WebDAV is designed to make the web into a read/write medium, instead of the basically read- only medium that exists today. This allows directories and files to be shared, as both readable and writable objects, over the web. Most modern operating systems provide built-in support for WebDAV. Business associates in separate locations can collaborate and work on projects together using WebDAV protocol. Users can collaborate over the web the way they might over a corporate intranet LAN or over the Internet securely using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Here is a list of some of the commercial applications that currently support the WebDAV protocol: • Apache Tomcat Server • Microsoft Windows Server • MAC OS X Server • Groupware • Linux • IBM AS/400 What does this mean? You can now, with Sharescan Suite 4.2, setup a Quick Connector and using the WebDAV protocol. The following is an example of a Quick Connected with WebDAV protocol being used to scan to a Microsoft IIS web server: Sharescan Quick Connect Configuration Microsoft IIS Configuration .
