Windows Server 2008 R2では、IISの役割サービスとしてWebDAVサーバ機能を用意しているので、サービスを追加するだけでWebDAVの利用が可能になる。

そこでお勧めしたいのが「WebDAV for WHS」だ。 このアドインを利用すれば、WHS 2011の“サーバー フォルダー”をWebDAVフォルダとして外部に公開可能。

WebDav is an interesting topic for me too. I would love to set up one of my servers for WebDav and offer cheap alternative hosting for Mac users so they can use it as an iDisk, or .Mac account.

I decided to use WebDAV, as it's lightweight and easy to host. There's a bit of extra configuration, but everything is stored on my own computers, no cloud involved.

I'm looking for something to make it easier to use WebDAV from a shell scripting language on Windows; Ruby and PowerShell are the two that come to mind as the easiest to use on Windows.
