You could use an AppleScript to mount the iDisk, or call mount_webdav  
in a shell function. But both of these will actually mount the iDisk  
volume. Although it's easy enough to unmount it again, it does look  
messy.

Just curious, have you tried 'put ... into url' using the http scheme  
with a username and password?

   put myFilePath into URL ("http://myUser:myPassword@myiDisk.mac.com/ 
myFile.txt")

I don't have a webdav server to try it out on just now.
