The canonical way to allow users to edit static content of a web site is to use a content management system, such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or SharePoint. Some of these may also support WebDAV, but usually have an interface of their own that's easier. | |
| May 10, 2019 at 9:08 | comment | added | ChrisW | @James_pic I want something simple for an end-user to edit the static content on a web site. If they use FTP that's a little complicated, and maybe not supported by the host, and the updates (being FTP) bypass the web server. I chose this answer because it seems the easiest (couldn't be easier) for the end-user, and I suppose I can make the server support WebDAV. I haven't tried it yet though | |

It looks like Microsoft fixed the blocking UI for WebDAV operations but the lack of an activity indicator or status window makes it user un-friendly. | |
| May 9, 2019 at 15:13 | comment | added | James_pic | @PhilippWendler I didn't see anything in OP's question that suggested they were dealing with servers that speak WebDAV, and most of the servers I encounter that accept PUT requests are not WebDAV servers. But OP accepted this answer, so I guess you were right on the money. | |

@James_pic Indeed, but I would say servers that support PUT but not WebDAV (for the purpose of the OP) are even more rare.

| May 9, 2019 at 14:00 | comment | added | James_pic | This is only useful if the server you want to talk to supports WebDAV, which is rarely the case. | |
| May 7, 2019 at 14:00 | comment | added | Philipp Wendler | As example, open https:\\live.sysinternals.com in your Windows Explorer (explanation). | |
| May 7, 2019 at 13:57 | comment | added | Philipp Wendler | Yes, if a server implements this (by having support for WebDAV) and allows it to you (usually such access is password protected). | |
| May 7, 2019 at 13:55 | comment | added | ChrisW | Wow. Are you saying I can use Windows Explorer to read/write/browse/delete files in a directory structure (i.e. "paths") which a web server exposes via HTTP? | |
