Aq,

I did try WebDAV once but it was Hard(tm).  I presume it would work for 
sharing files on the local network but TBH it'd be like using an ICBM to 
crack a nut - I mean I don't suppose you need the versioning and such it 
does do you?

PS: Samba is so easy even I (Mr. Big 'Answer lots of questions about 
Python at the meet and get /every single/ one of them wrong for some 
reason' Dan) have done it.  Sharing to/from every version of Win* from 
95 to XP with various Sambas from 2.0.17 to 3.0.  What's the problem 
you're having?
