I want to create an iCal Calendar that can be downloaded from my website to the users Calendar program or imported to Google Calendar. What I want to know is if I do a direct Export from iCal on Mac OS X is that the file that I upload to my server? Any catches or caveats I should be aware of? Or is there a better way?
