Simple WebDav server for Win XP?
Does anyone know of a very simple, light, and preferably free webdav server for Windows XP? I don't have a webdav server available for zotero storage syncing, so what I want to do is expose a directory in DropBox to zotero via webdav for sync purposes. DropBox can take care of backup for me; I only want webdav for intraPC communication with Zotero.
I don't want to install anything complex or heavy like apache for this purpose.
I could of course just put my whole zotero dir in DropBox, but that would lose the multiple client advantages of syncing.

In the future you'll likely have the ability to use a local/network location for storage sync as well, which would obviate the need for something like this.
For more disk space most providers ask for a fee (often reasonable).
I've had box.net working, no problem but I'd nearly filled my 1Gb of room, so this one seems like a great service. So I'm trying to sync for the first time:
I can verify the server.
Zotero creates a 'zotero' folder
So all seems good.
Then I try to sync and all that happens is a 0 byte lastsync file is created - nothing else.
The only error I've got is this:
[JavaScript Error: "Zotero is not defined" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/preferences/preferences.js" line: 368}]
950770825
I'm assuming that the url webdav.mydrive.ch and using https is fine, as Zotero does create a folder.
Any suggestions, gratefully received!
Thanks,
Jon.
debug output sent to support.
Thanks, Jon.
Oh, forgot to add running Firefox 3.5 on Jaunty using Zotero 2.0b6.r4733.
Just noticed there's a new build out - will try that and report back.
Nope, 4738 exactly the same.
OK - mammoth sync on its way and I'm off to bed feeling foolish.
thanks Dan.
Just a quick update - sync was completely successful, so a big thank you to omills for pointing them out, really appreciate it.
