There are several advantages of WebDAV over FTP:
1. More Secure: WebDAV supports SSL encryption, which makes it more secure than FTP that sends data in plain text.
1. Better integration with the Web: As WebDAV is based on the HTTP protocol, it can be easily integrated with the web. This makes it easier to access and share files.
1. More flexible: WebDAV is more flexible than FTP as it allows users to work with files and folders in the same way as they do with network shares. FTP, on the other hand, doesn’t support these features.
1. Supports Locking: WebDAV supports locking, which allows users to lock files and prevent other users from modifying them. FTP doesn’t support this feature.
1. Compatibility with Mobile Devices: WebDAV is more compatible with mobile devices than FTP. Many mobile applications support WebDAV, which makes it easier to access and share files on the go.
