We've developped a solution based on apache-webdav that allows users to 
access to a storage
area via WebDAV and PHPGW-webhosting.
It is still in beta, and it is a little bloated, but seems to work well. 
The main idea is to use
WebDAV repository as a base and use a special phpgw-vfs class, 
containing a DAV client,
to access this area.
I know that WinXP embeds WebDAV support, but I've never tested it.

I'm not sure this idea can be helpfull, but if you're interested I'll 
publish it immediately.

Keep in touch
