WebdAV is not disabled for us- but zip/unzip is.

Sometimes in the process of setting up sakai, we learned that sending files
over webdav DOED NOT respect the QUOTA.

May be that's why some institutions may remove it or disable it

Now that I've paused for a respectful moment of silence over WebCT ....

I've heard that for those who do not use WebDAV, they find a feature which
allows a zip file to be uploaded and unzipped on the server, and also
allows for zipping up the folder/file structure of some or all folder/files
in Resources and downloading them in zip fashion...

I say "heard of" because this feature has been disabled on our hosted Sakai
server and I haven't had time yet to dig into all the whys and wherefors.
Certainly we wouldn't deprecate WebDAV without providing another way, such
as zip/unzip to do bulk moves of files?

Apart from zip/unzip , how many people find browser drop and drag reliable?
(Or am I recapping conversation that took place already?)
