Copying to a web folder in Win2K (or XP)

[Tim Ottinger]

I am writing a python script for a friend who is mired in
windows, and all I really need to do is walk a tree and copy
files (oh, and produce some HTML indices), and that's really
easy. That's what I told my friend.

Then I found out that I'm needing to copy to a Web Folder,
which is not a normal network share, and can't be treated
as a normal connection (apparently). I'm not really savvy
with some windows technology, and apparently this is one of
those.

I apparently need to pass a password and login id to the
web folder. What technology am I looking at? It's not
FTP, so what libraries do I need to get to in order to
connect and copy files? Is this a WebDAV thing?
