Thanks stefan for the comments!

I also have used Web Folders in Windows Server 2003 and didn't find any problems with the certificate, because it asked me to trust it or not. But in Windows 7, it is automatically rejected without any justification.

I added the IIS transfer limit issue to the guide because it's rather important!

Thanks for the guide! I'd like to add my comments to this.

1. I found that there is a 30 MB file transfer limit by default in IIS which very much affects webdav. It took me forever to Google up the solution which was to adjust the "maxAllowedContentLength" setting (now you can Google it).

2. When I use Web Folder (My Network Places) to connect to the webdav folder it doesn't matter that the certificate was self signed and I don't have to pre-install it in IE.

3. The WebDAV Authoring rules seem to override the NTFS/File/Folder permissions. Strange but fine with me so far.

4. I can't get the "net use" command to work in Windows XP. I get "System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found". Maybe it just works in Vista or Windows 7...
