* [[SSH File Transfer Protocol]] (SFTP), an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0, provides secure file-transfer capability; and scp, a form of SFTP that runs as a single command similar to a regular cp (copy) command in the shell.
* [[Rsync]], a protocol and a command similar to scp, that can also skip rewriting identical files and portions of files, or skip newer files, etc.
* A [[distributed file system]] such as the [[Server Message Block]] (SMB) protocol allows [[Microsoft Windows]] and open-source [[Samba (software)|Samba]] clients to access and manage files and folders remotely on a suitable [[file server]]. Commonly used for multimedia streaming over [[Ethernet]] and widely supported by [[Smart TV]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rau|first=Thomas|date=2017-10-19|title=Filme, Musik & Bilder im Heimnetzwerk streamen|url=https://www.pcwelt.de/ratgeber/Media-Streaming-im-Heimnetz-8814285.html|access-date=2020-11-05|website=PC-WELT|language=de-DE}}</ref>
* [[Atom (standard)|AtomPub]], an HTTP-based protocol for creating and updating web resources, can be used for some of the use cases of WebDAV. It is based on standard HTTP verbs with standardized collection resources that behave somewhat like the WebDAV model of directories.
* [[Content Management Interoperability Services|CMIS]], a standard consisting of a set of Web services for sharing information among disparate content repositories, seeks to ensure interoperability for people and applications using multiple content repositories; it has both [[SOAP]]- and AtomPub-based interfaces
* [[Wiki software]], such as [[MediaWiki]].
* [[Linked Data Platform]] (LDP), a Linked Data specification defining a set of integration patterns for building RESTful HTTP services that are capable of read-write of RDF data.
* [[Object storage]] such as [[OpenStack#Object storage (Swift)|OpenStack Swift]] or [[Amazon S3]]
