WebDAV is working fine. There just doesn't seem to be any way to have 
Amaya transfer PDF or Word files when they save changes to or create a 
web page. I am just trying to verify that the first scenario below is 
the current reality with Amaya.

The way it works now:

   I have a PDF file on my desktop that I want to make available to 
students.

   1) Use an SFTP client (i.e. firezilla, winscp) to copy the PDF file 
from my desktop to my web folder.
   2) Use Amaya to add a link in index.html to the PDF file.

The way they *want* it to work:

   I have a PDF file on my desktop that I want to make available to 
students.

   1) I add a link in index.html to a PDF file using Amaya, and when I 
save it, the PDF file on my desktop gets copied to my web folder.

We are moving away from commercial packages like Dreamweaver because of 
a dwindling budget and are experimenting with Amaya.
