Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that allows clients to perform remote Web content authoring operations.

WebDAV is defined in by a working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force.

A file hosting service, cloud storage service, online file storage provider, or cyberlocker is an Internet hosting service specifically designed to host user files.

It allows users to upload files that could then be accessed over the internet from a different computer, tablet, smart phone or other networked device, by the same user or possibly by other users, after a password or other authentication is provided.

Typically, the services allow HTTP access, and sometimes FTP access.

Related services are content-displaying hosting services (i.e. video and image), virtual storage, and remote backup.

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files from a server to a client using the Client–server model on a computer network.

In computing, a file server (or fileserver) is a computer attached to a network that has the primary purpose of providing a location for shared disk access, i.e. shared storage of computer files (such as documents, sound files, photographs, movies, images, databases, etc) that can be accessed by the workstations that are attached to the same computer network.

The term server highlights the role of the machine in the client–server scheme, where the clients are the workstations using the storage.

A file server is not intended to perform computational tasks, and does not run programs on behalf of its clients.

Drive mapping is how operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, associate a local drive letter (A through Z) with a shared storage area to another computer over a network.

After a drive has been mapped, a software application on a client's computer can read and write files from the shared storage area by accessing that drive, just as if that drive represented a local physical hard disk drive.
