'''WebDAV''' ('''Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning''') is a set of extensions to the [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol]] (HTTP), which allows [[user agent]]s to collaboratively author contents ''directly'' in an [[
The WebDAV protocol provides a framework for users to create, change and move documents on a [[Server (computing)|server]]. The most important features include the maintenance of properties about an author or modification date, [[namespace]] management, collections, and overwrite protection. Maintenance of properties includes such things as the creation, removal, and querying of file information. Namespace management deals with the ability to copy and move web pages within a server's namespace. Collections deal with the creation, removal, and listing of various resources. Lastly, overwrite protection handles aspects related to the locking of files. It takes advantage of existing technologies such as [[Transport Layer Security]], [[digest access authentication]] or [[XML]] to satisfy those requirements.{{sfn|Whitehead|Goland|1999|p=294}}

* [[File Transfer Protocol]] (FTP), a simple and widely adopted network protocol based on [[Internet Protocol|IP]], allows users to transfer files between network hosts. [[FTPS]] extends FTP for secure traffic.
* [[SSH File Transfer Protocol]] (SFTP), an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0, provides secure file-transfer capability
* [[Rsync]], a protocol and a command similar to scp, that can also skip rewriting identical files and portions of files, or skip newer files, etc.
* A [[distributed file system]] such as the [[Server Message Block]] (SMB) protocol allows [[Microsoft Windows]] and open-source [[Samba (software)|Samba]] clients to access and manage files and folders remotely on a suitable [[file server]]. Commonly used for multimedia streaming over [[Ethernet]] and widely supported by [[Smart TV]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rau|first=Thomas|date=2017-10-19|title=Filme, Musik & Bilder im Heimnetzwerk streamen|url=https://www.pcwelt.de/ratgeber/Media-Streaming-im-Heimnetz-8814285.html|access-date=2020-11-05|website=PC-WELT|language=de-DE}}</ref>
