Setting Up WebDAV in Windows Windows 7

In order to use WebDAV on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7 you must install Microsoft's Software Update for Web Folders. You can download this from the Microsoft Download Center at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=17C36612-632E-4C04-9382-987622ED1D64.

Once you've connected to WebDAV, you can create a mapped drive to your directory. This is a more stable connection, and you can work with it the same way as you do any other folder on your system. You can get information on how to set up at mapped drive here.
