easy-to-use file management?

[Aaron Vegh]

Hi all,
I have a client who wishes to maintain three sets of data:

1. A Web site
2. A photo gallery; and
3. A document repository

The requirements for all are pretty similar. Because many people will
be editing files from each area remotely, there needs to be a way to
provide some means of versioning, or file locking at the very least.

One important requirement is that the clients be able to access these
files on a Mac or Windows machine. Another is that it not be
complicated; this rules out a versioning system like CVS or SVN.

My first attempt at a solution was WebDAV. It provides file locking,
and the files themselves seem pretty accessible from all operating
systems. However, no OS provides file locking capability. And the
tools available for WebDAV are terrible, absolutely god-awful in
either appearance, functionality, or both.

Are there any other solutions that occur? I fear not, but I'm hoping
the brain trust here has run into something similar in the past.

Cheers,
Aaron.
