WebDAV probably has enough features for this. I've just never seen it

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.
Seems like IETF's very purpose is to render "proprietary stuff"
irrelevant, instead of letting the Big Companies dictate what it
works on and what kinds of people can work on it as it does far
too often now.
* 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.
I think it's sufficient, if inefficient, if a client can list the
files that are available and do it's own wildcarding.
