That's what I thought after all: changing the protocol to sftp. Don't 
know why I didn't concider to do this before - probably because I 
started with webdav and it worked over years. And being busy most of the 
time the concept of never changing a running system seems to be a very 
good concept :-)
And now it seems to be the moment when the system is no longer running 
and it is time to change it :-)
