You can use HTMLKit: 

  http://www.chami.com/html-kit
  
It supports FTP better than any other Windows tool I know; it can
optionally open files without an extension inside itself. This is a
god-sent for DTML objects like standard_html_header.

There aren't any WebDAV enabled editors I know of that actually make use
of the added functionality of WebDAV server; they treat it like any other
FTP server. The only exception is Adobe GoLive 5; it uses WebDAV
properties and locking extensively; but you said No WYSIWYG.. :)
