The reason for using webdav is mainly for the end user. The majority of them
are not familiar with using an ftp program. So the simplicity and
familiarity of a web folder is easier for them to work with. Thanks for your
suggestion however, if I had it my way I'd use ftp in the blink of an eye.
Actually that's what I usually use, so that's why i'm having problems with
integrating a backup schedule using web folders.
