About WebDAV


    GoLive supports a server technology known as Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV). WebDAV is a standard (RFC 2518). This technology extends the HTTP protocol with extensions that let authors safely work on a Web site in a workgroup environment with features such as file locking so that documents will not be accidentally overwritten or updates lost. You can find detailed information and the latest news about WebDAV at www.webdav.org.

    To use WebDAV, you must have connection to a server with WebDAV capability. That includes:

    • Adobe Version Cue Workspace (a feature of the Adobe Creative Suite)
    • Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server (with mod_dav installed)
    • Microsoft IIS 5 (included with Windows 2000) and Microsoft IIS 6
    • Microsoft Exchange Server
    • Apache (with mod_dav module installed)
    • Novell NetWare 6.0
    • Tomcat (with Jakarta and Slide)
    • Tamino WebDAV Server
    • Jigsaw
    • Python WebDAV Server

    A Web team can work on a WebDAV production server in house, and then use the GoLive Publish Server feature to upload the site to a public server without WebDAV capability.
