    Hello!
    I have the following problem: I want to access a folder using WinSCP via WebDAV, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

    In ISPConfig I set "Max. number of Webdav users" to 1 and created the WebDAV user under Client X. I named the directory test (webdav/test). A folder with the same name does not exist in the web area (clientx/webx/web/). Unfortunately my attempt to log in with WinSCP was unsuccessful. Then I checked whether port 443 was active (User: www-data and root). “DAV on” is also included under /etc/apache2/sites-available/webx.

    Does anyone have a recommendation (e.g. install certain packages, ...)?

    Webdav is just a file storage in webdav directory; you can not access files of a website with it. Besides that, webdav is entirely outdated and not used anymore today. To access your website with WinSCP, either use FTP (requires an FTP user account on the website) or SCP (requires an SSH user account on the website).

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    A customer would like to take advantage of this opportunity. Unfortunately I can't get any further with the access. I thought that if I used the WebDAV user with WinSCP, then I would automatically come out in the webdav/test folder.
