When using W2K and OL2K you _dont_ need the web publisher! Actually MS
discourage the use of the unsupported web publisher.

I just positively verified that secure webdav upload and https download
worked
with W2K and my German  copy of OL2K2.

So as written before unsecure ftp upload is only required for legacy
support
of old NT4 systems who cannot support webdav. Actually I even remeber that
it
worked with W98SE.
