- <p>XXXXX</p>
+ <p>Windows computers use a proprietary protocol to share files over a local
+ area network. Computers on a Windows network are sometimes grouped into
+ <em>domains</em> for organization and to better control access. If you have
+ the right permissions on the remote computer, you can connect to a Windows

<title>WebDAV and Secure WebDAV</title>
- <p>XXXXX</p>
+ <p>Based on the HTTP protocol used on the web, WebDAV is sometimes used to
+ share files on a local network and to store files on the internet. If the
+ server you're connecting to supports secure connections, you should choose
+ this option. Secure WebDAV uses strong SSL encryption, so your password
+ and data can't be sniffed.</p>
