+# lighttpd Directory List Example
+
+To utilise this lighttpd directory list replacement, you'll need to have your
+own server set up and configured with WevDAV (hopefully that's a given!).
+
+Clone this repository to a desirable location (e.g. `/var/www/webdav-js`) then
+modify the example `webdav.conf` file to your liking, updating the references
+to the `webdav-js` repo if you've checked it out elsewhere.
+
+Include `webdav.conf` in your lighttpd.conf or symlink in /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/
+(or similar directory, depending on the convention used by the lighttpd package
+in your OS distribution).
+
+From then on you should be able to upload and browse at your leisure.
