WebDAV as an interesting technology.  Look at www.webdav.org.  If you're
running Windows XP, it can mount WebDAV enabled systems.  OS X does so as
well.  Linux can with certain compiled modules, but doesn't with the default
systems right now.
WebDAV is a protocol extension to HTTP.  It essentially acts as a
filesystem, allowing you to upload files, and get information.  It's pretty
cool, and Apple is using it heavily in all their products.  I enabled it on
my workstation at work, and can connect to it from my OS X laptop.

Has the OS X and apple instructions for a few things.  Let me know if you
need more info on configuration, setup, etc.  I ended up using Apache
toolbox on my RedHat 8.0 system (which just switched to Gentoo), and it
worked for the most part.  Getting the quota support into WebDAV was tricky,
but aftewards, it worked fine.
Cheers!
Jason
