# WebDAV Publishing

This section explains how to set up a WebDAV publishing directory on an IIS server, and tells how clients can connect to the server to edit and manipulate files.

This section includes:

- About WebDAV: Explains how WebDAV can create directories from which remote users can publish and manipulate files.
- Creating a Publishing Directory: How to set up a WebDAV publishing directory.
- Managing WebDAV Security: Provides tips on how to optimize IIS and Windows Whistler security to secure your WebDAV site.
- Searching a WebDAV Directory: How to configure a WebDAV directory so that users can search it for content and document properties.
- Publishing and Managing Files: How to publish content and manipulate files through Windows Whistler, Internet Explorer, and Office 2000.

Note WebDAV is an implementation of the HTTP 1.1 proposed draft and is therefore not available for non-HTTP services, such as FTP sites. Also, this implementation is currently for IIS 5.0 and 5.1 only.
