WG: write permissions / unix rights (was: cannot write @ share...)

[Schlomo Schapiro]

Hi,

for webdesigners maybe DAV (Apache/ModDAV) may be better because of
Windows' bad habits of changing file names (with regards to upper/lower
case).

Also then you can incorporate it with the web server and give people
access to the real data "in-situ".
