Why in 2 words when you post a simple question always in more words than just 2?

Don't they have Google in the AE?

In short and to help others reading this topic:
webDAV is an acronym for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, a sort of extension to http/1.1, which allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.

WebDAV supports the following features:-
Editing:
Create, update, and delete files.

Properties:
Store meta data such as titles, author names, and publication dates. You can set, delete, and retrieve these meta data.

Collections:
Group resources into collections that are organized like a file system, similar to a directory or desktop folder.

Locking:
Use locks to prevent others from editing the same content you're working on in WebDAV. The duration of the locks is independent of any individual network connection.

Briefly: 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.
