Yeah I did :)
btw is it just me or have microsoft taken out support for webdav web
folders with ie6 onwards. At least I couldn't map to an apache/webdav
share as a web folder when I last tried - but there was a time I could.
It'd be great if I was mistaken about this.
Anyway, if I do this in twisted then the user gets a huge choice in
clients depending on the particular task their doing. Grabbing an adhoc
file out in the field - use a web browser, day to day work - map a
share, transfering huge files - use sftp ... and from an administration
point of view it should hopefully be slightly nicer than setting up
samba shares.
cheers,
Andy.
