There is a remote folder on a iDisk share that I want to sync with a local server running Windows Server 2003. I want it scheduled and automated with as little user interaction as possible (none!). I have been toying with a few ideas, and think the best way to go about this would be to try and access the iDisk share from the Windows box through the WebDAV protocol, then sync that connection with a local Windows folder.
I have thought about loading IIS, but from past experiences and best practices, it's not always good to have the DC, File Share and IIS server be the same resource which I will be doing if I go that path.
I thought about using a WebDAV client, but it's a little foggy at first with trying to connect. Looking over the documentation (attached), it looks like I would use this URL for authentication:
http://idisk.mac.com/username/?view=web
Any suggestions on this? Am I making this more complicated than it needs to be? The end result is just to have that iDisk sync to the server which would be the backup function of that iDisk.
