Basically, you write a batch file that calls the FTP commands to copy/backup
the data to the ftp server - which could just as well be the same http
server/location you intended to use for WebDAV. Add an Entry in Task
Scheduler for the btach file so it's scheduled to run as needed - in this
way the end users don't have to run anything and don't have to be familiar
with FTP. It just runs on a schedule just like a backup program would.
