Good point; I never used that directly. Why do you think that hasn’t supplanted FTP?

- dragonwriter 8y agoBecause SFTP is a better fit for simple (but secure) file transfer, WebDAV handles a lot more, but it's overkill for most of the things FTP was used for. OTOH, AFAICT, SFTP has largely replaced FTP for the system-to-system role (though ad hoc HTTP-based protocols are also common.)
- drb91 8y agoI agree re: the sftp point; people often refer to it as ftp given the interface mimicry.
- amaccuish 8y agoFor me I've always found WebDAV to my owncloud server from Windows and Mac dreadfully slow. The sync client itself that uses WebDAV is just fine, so I'd put my guess on poor integration and client implementations.
