Hey all: 

I just bought DMX 5 for our new company website and had several questions and it wasn't entirely apparent where the answers would be, so I apologize if the answers are somewhere and I haven't looked hard enough.

First some background.  Our company website is hosted by discountasp.net and uses DNN 4.  I am essentially trying to use DMX as an FTP interface for our clients.  Our clients log in, and registered users see the menu item for where DMX is installed.  They go there and see a folder tree with folders they have permission to access/look at.  Plus, I read that there were plans to eventually interface with amazon S3.  So far so good. 

My question involves content uploading.  Our users don't want to go through a long hard time of uploading files.  I need to figure out how to set it such that the user can drag and drop content from a directory to the DMX UI and be able to tell it to upload those files.  I assumed that DMX supports batch upload and download.  I know that I have to have webdav enabled, which it is, but from there I am not sure what kind of configuration I have to go through.  I've tried using the webdav guide from the site but that didn't help much.  Is there any information I need about IIS or anything like that?  I am kind of in the dark at the moment.

Peter:

I kind of figured that was the case.  The problem is, as I stated intially, our site is hosted on a discountasp.net webserver, so I don't have any direct access to the setting.  I'd need to know what to tell them to change and that is what I am uncertain about.  Webdav is enabled within the module, so I assume it is a server side issue.

Aside from that: 

At the moment, the Open in Windows Explorer option doesn't actually do anything.  Does webdav fix that?

Second, how do I make it so people or at least read only people can't see the detail view on a folder?  (I don't want clients to see who has permission to see a folder)
