Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)

WebDAV is an extension to the HTTP/1.1 protocol that allows clients to perform remote Web content authoring operations. HTTP defines many headers that can be used in WebDAV requests and responses. WebDAV provides functionality to create, change, and move documents on a remote server. This is useful, among other things, for authoring the documents that a web server serves, but can also be used for general web-based file storage that can be accessed from anywhere. Important features in WebDAV protocol include locking (overwrite prevention), properties (creation, removal, and querying of information about author, modified date, etc.), name space management (ability to copy and move Web pages within a server's namespace), and collections (creation, removal, and listing of resources).

CuteFTP doesn’t support all WebDAV verbs. In particular, CuteFTP can’t take advantage of the additional services offered by "Class 2" WebDAV-compliant servers (http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc4918.html#dav.compliance.classes). Verbs that CuteFTP doesn't support are PROPPATCH, LOCK, and UNLOCK.
