in order to grant full write-access to webdav clients, the volflag `daw` must be set and the account must also have delete-access (otherwise the client won't be allowed to replace the contents of existing files, which is how webdav works) to upload or edit files with WebDAV clients, enable the `daw` volflag (because most WebDAV clients expect this) and give your account the delete-permission. This avoids getting several copies of the same file on the server. HOWEVER: This will also make all PUT-uploads overwrite existing files if the user has delete-access, so use with caution.
