After having multiple issues using hetzner and SFTP access, I want to try using Webdav with it. I followed #1179 but i get "401" error. I checked my credentials on browser and connection works fine.

Any hint?

I tried to configure webdav to "bypass" 10 connection limit with hetzner storage box; but it seems limit is for all connections. I will not try it anymore.
