With the latest release of iWork on iPad, sharing files across your local Wi-Fi
network is now possible. Using WebDAV, files can be shared between iWork on
your Mac and iWork on your iPad. All you need to do is enable WebDAV on
your Mac. But how do you do that?
What is WebDAV?
WebDAV stand for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol,
and it works over HTTP. WebDAV was designed for read/write access on web
servers, which is great, because every Mac ships with a web server built-in.
When you enable Web Sharing in your System Preferences, youre actually
running an Apache web server. The problem is that while the necessary
modules that support WebDAV have been installed, WebDAV isnt configured
by default on OS X, and you need more than just administrator privileges to
enable it.

You will then be prompted with the User ID and Password that was set up on
the Mac running WebDAV.

What a great idea, but it doesnt work for me. I followed all the instruction with

This is my first time using terminal and it is not so easy as it seems to be.

Were using CloudDav from SMEStorage to edit our Google Docs and Amazon
S3 files directly through iWork and Pages. It works a treat. It also works with
DropBox and other clouds.

GT & LT signs are breaking the post.
2nd line is missing the directory cmd and the start of the library name

Why not use a free WebDAV provider instead? We use cloudsafe.com for our
office documents 1GB is enough for us.
