Hi Eduardo --
Check here for some Linux Webdav instructions: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2009/06/27/howto-webdav-on-ubuntu-9-04-server/
Step 6 walks you through the connection to our folders (already set
up), I am not sure how much of the rest you will need.
If that doesn't work, then we may be able to work out an alternative.
If you need your chapter's Webdav URL, username & password, please
send an email to ams-project at isoc.org when you are ready to upload
your file. Please do not use the Delegates list for that request.
Thanks --
