Invariably all web hosting ISPs offer ftp(s) for file upload/download. If you |
| 18 |
pay a bit more you should be able to get ssh/scp/sftp too. Indeed, many ISPs |
| 19 |
throw in scp/sftp access as part of their basic package. |

Webdav(s) offers the same basic upload/download functionality, so I am not |
| 22 |
sure what you find awkward about it, although I'd rather use lftp instead of |
| 23 |
cadaver any day. ;-) |

As Alan mentioned, with JavaScript'ed web pages these days there are many |
| 26 |
webapp'ed ISP offerings like Dropbox and friends. |

What is the use case you have in mind? |
