WebDav and File Transfer

As FTP is blocked at the firewall level in more corporations, we switched to WebDav (used the Apache 2's Dav module) for File Transfers between our offices. With WebDav, We also got an additional advantage of using the Windows OS's built in WebDav client (Web folders) rather than having to install an FTP Client or in most cases just use the Web Browser. Once the folder is setup, it is simply one more folder in the Windows Explorer. Since we use Apache on the server, we can rely on the industry standard Web Server and have to worry less about security issues.
