    1: \label{Authoring_WebDAV}
    2: 
    3: If your domain has Apache with SSL running on the LON-CAPA server where you   
    4: access your Authoring Space (i.e., URLs begin https://) and your Domain 
    5: Coordinator has enabled webDAV access for users with author or co-author 
    6: roles, then you will be able to connect to an Authoring Space using webDAV.    
    7: 
    8: A webDAV connection allows you to mount the Authoring Space directory tree as an
    9: external volume.  You can then use your own laptop/desktop computer's file management
   10: tools and applications to copy, move, edit and delete files (including dragging and 
   11: dropping folders, etc.).
   12: 
   13: The requirement to obsolete published files before moving or deleting them, which applies to
   14: the regular web browser-based management of Authoring Space, also applies in the webDAV
   15: environment. Moving and deleting directories in the webDAV environment is prohibited if
   16: the directory, or any (nested) subdirectory contains a non-obsolete published resource.
   17: 
   18: Given the ability to easily delete unpublished content in webDAV (without a mechanism to
   19: reverse the deletion), it is important that you are especially careful when working in the
   20: webDAV environment with this type of content.
   21: 
   22: When you display the contents of a directory in Authoring Space using webDAV you may see
   23: additional files, with extensions .log, .save, .bak etc. for each LON-CAPA .problem  
   24: file.  You can view the contents of these files but you will not be able to modify or
   25: delete them.  These files are created by LON-CAPA when using the web GUI.
   26: For example, a .log file, which records publication history, is updated whenever you
   27: use ``Publish'' to copy a file from Authoring Space to Resource Space, and .bak files 
   28: enable use of the LON-CAPA ``Undo'' button in regular web browser-based editing in 
   29: Authoring Space.
