What you need is a WebServer which speaks DAV - the Distributed 
Authorting
and Versioning protocol.

Use ports or packages (if you do not know what these are - see the 
'handbook'
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/) 
specifically:

	http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
and
	http://www.freebsd.org/ports/

Then install the ports/packages:

	apache
	mod_dav

Then follow the instructions with came with apache; or try

	http://www.lugatgt.org/articles/webdav/ - section 2.2 onwards.

If this is too complex - consult a good book on apache.
