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?
  * 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?
  * Are there robust, readily available, open source programs available
    to access webdav URLs that support scripting from a shell or other
    command interpreter?
  * Will webdav work in the presence of likely firewall configurations?

None of these should require administrative/root permission from the 
client system.

(repeat the above questions for NFS and any other supposed FTP replacement)
