WebDAV stands for “Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning”. It is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. What that means is that you can store files in your home directory on the server and securely access them via standard https links for both upload and download. This allows you to store a ICS Calendar file for use with applications like Apple’s iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, Evolution, KOrganizer, or any other WebDav enabled calendering application. Furthermore, it provides a method for mounting your home directory via the web on your home machine or laptop.
