WebDAV or something better?

[Ken Keefe <kaje@digitalfamily.org>]

I am quickly finishing up a book on Apache 2 and it got to a section on
publishing extensions and methods. The book talked about DAV for quite
some time. It appears to me that DAV is like CVS, but for documents. Is
that a correct assessment?

The book neglected to mention anything about security with DAV. Is this
a secure protocol? I am mentally planning a web server that will host
about a dozen personal/family sites and I would like a secure method of
publishing. 

I personally sftp/scp everything to my personal server. As this server
will have Linux and Windows users, I am looking for something like DAV
appears to be, but I want to make sure that it is secure. If there is
some other method that most people use, I'm all ears. I don't want to
require people to go out and buy sftp clients for Windows. Any thoughts
on the matter would be welcome.

Thanks everyone.
