Is BITS tied in to WebDAV?

Is BITS tied in to WebDAV somehow? Pardon my ignorance, I've been trying to determine how to programatically open and close web folders on a workstation to attach a remote WebDAV share.

From the microsoft.public.windows.backgroundtransfer newsgroup
No. The configuration/use of BITS is separate from the WebDAV redirector.

WebDAV will allow you to write programs to open and access files as I think you describe below (i.e. Create/Open/Read/Write) using file system APIs. BITS primary goal is its background transfer and the ability to resume, sort of "fire and forget".
