Ah, didn't know that, was just making a rash assumption. :) Thanks for
the correction.

I found a few issues when copying from a samba share to a webdav
machine. Dav doesn't seem to like punctuation in file or directory names
and many of our employees have gone OTT in this regard.

Also, it doesn't seem to like large files; we've got quite a few 600Mb
ISOs on the samba share and nautilus routinely fell over when copying
these over. I got around it by manually copying to my machine and then
scp-ing it over to the DAV machine.

The bug was logged here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376388

Other than when using DAV, it seems pretty stable and I use it every day.

Chris.
