    IIS 6 webfarm - how to use Webdav?

    I want to have a site on my webfarm that allows users to upload and download documents specfic to them. I thought this could eb achieved through WebDAV but now I'm not sure - how does webdav work with NLB?

     Am I better using a simple file share at the backend instead as a virtual directory, and if so, how do i get the NLB farm to authenticate each user against the file server?

     Finally, if I'm using a single website with a single virtual directory, how do I stop users from seeing the existence of folders that are not theirs?

     It's early days on this so I welcome any better ways to acheive this (but must be IIS 6 based at the front end)

    When in doubt - Google!

    There would have to be a common file store so the same documents are available to all servers.

    Probably. Pass-through authentication.

    NTFS permissions on the files and folders.
