1 Both [[NetDrive>>http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/999.html]] and [[WebDrive>>http://www.southrivertech.com/products/webdrive/index.html]] are capable of providing a complete file system like abstraction to a remote WebDAV share. Thus far, these two clients seem to be the most complete, stable and robust WebDAV clients available for a Windows environment.
