34 : Currently, //HTTP// (unencrypted) and //HTTPS// (encrypted) are available. If the WebDAV server supports it, the use of //HTTPS// is recommended.
35 ; Server
36 : The address of your WebDAV provider. A path can already be attached here so that later only access to this directory and subdirectories is possible.
37 ; Port
38 : By default, port 80 is used for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS. If different, this must be specified here.
39 ; Path
40 : Specify a subfolder to be used here.
