as i read a lot about this webdav but yet didn't understand what is it for? i mean what is it doing in reality!?

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?
http://www.webdav.org/other/faq.htmlIn 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.
