The WebDAV protocol makes the Web a readable and writable medium, It provides a framework for users to create, change and move documents on a server (typically a web server or "web share").
The most important features of the WebDAV protocol include:
- locking ("overwrite prevention")
- properties (creation, removal, and querying of information about author, modified date et cetera);
