WebDAV

We have an Windows Administrator here that wants to use webDAV using IIS
to open up all file access to the Internet.  The interface is very nice
but I am concerned about security.  I looking for solid technical pros
and cons of this idea.  The Front-end is a Windows 2003 running IIS
connecting to Windows 2000 files servers.  I know doing this with Unix
would be better but I have no control of that, if it is done it will be
Windows.  Also, any suggestions for securing it better would be
appreciated.

Thanks
Marty

it was probably worth it.
