Hmmm. WebDAV? What's missing?
WebDAV probably has enough features for this. I've just never seen it
used in this way.
* Can a user anonymously and easily mount a webdav remote file system
as a file system under each of linux, macos, windows?
That was true 10 years ago (with some interop problems in the MS
client), but support might have degraded since because
Google/Apple/Microsoft have been pushing their proprietary stuff instead.
* Are there GUI interfaces to that permit operations on multiple files
at once (identified by patterns and/or a picker) on webdav remote
file systems?
The protocol does not support wildcard operations, but GUIs might
emulate them.
* Are there robust, readily available, open source programs available
to access webdav URLs that support scripting from a shell or other
command interpreter?
curl, for instance.
* Will webdav work in the presence of likely firewall configurations?
Yes.
None of these should require administrative/root permission from the
client system.
(repeat the above questions for NFS and any other supposed FTP replacement)
