Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that facilitates collaboration between users in editing and managing documents and files stored on World Wide Web servers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV).
KUSoftas CMS has integrated WebDAV server. Builtin administrator has full access to site folders and files. Any other registered user can be authorized to access site files and images folders content.
As page hypertext is stored into regular file system files you can use any professional tools for content editing via WebDAV protocol such as Adobe Dreamweaver.
You can map site via WebDAV server as network drive to MS Windows (ex. using NetDrive 2) or other OS and use content manage and edit tools as you like (ex. Notepad++).
KUSoftas CMS uses SabreDAV as WebDAV framework.
Simple instruction how to map WebDAV server as network drive on Windows (optionally you can use NetDrive 2):
- Open Start->Computer
