“This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with lighttpd on an
Ubuntu 9.10 server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed
Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP
protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the lighttpd
server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP.
Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download
files.”
