WebDAV connection - WinSCP asks for password all the time

2021-09-09 21:03

Hi!

I'm trying to connect to the remote server using WebDAV protocol. I put correct hostname, user and password but WinSCP ask for password again and again. If I put wrong password I get exception in the log and WinSCP shows password prompt again. How this can be fixed? Is this an issue on my side?

I'd like to mention that the following issue doesn't happen in Cyberduck.

Please post verbose Cyberduck log as well. Is there any special character in your credentials?

I use only digits and basic latin characters in credentials. Here I attach log both from Cyberduck and WinSCP. There is a difference in Content-Length - 297 (Cyberduck) vs 84 (WinSCP).

Any clues or suggestions? What can I do to use WinSCP instead of Cyberduck for WebDAV and have a connection to server?

The hostname.com/webapi/webdav is not a valid hostname.

. 2021-09-13 22:12:42.991 Host name: hostname.com/webapi/webdav (Port: 443)

It should be just hostname.com.

Hi Martin!

Here I paste screenshots from WinSCP and Cyberduck. In my opinion the configuration in WinSCP is the same as in Cyberduck.

I replaced hostname in the logs I pasted before not to reveal the real hostname. Of course I didn't change the syntax and path in logs.

Problem is the same and I see password prompt all the time. I'm sure I put correct password. I attach the log with correct hostname. I hope it will be easier to read now.

I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

Re: WebDAV connection - WinSCP asks for password all the time

Thanks for the log. I believe the problem is this:

. 2021-09-20 15:23:57.607 ah_post_send (#0), code is 401 (want 401), WWW-Authenticate is Basic realm="WebDAV Server 6.6.6", Digest realm="WebDAV Server 6.6.6", domain="subdomain.hostname.pl", nonce="b6712f70cb3e32709c7acb29ca5b430b", opaque="d75db7b160fe72d1346d2bd1f67bfd10", algorithm="MD5", qop="auth"

The domain directive is wrong. It must be an URI prefix, like / or maybe /webapi/webdav.

Re: WebDAV connection - WinSCP asks for password all the time

If I set host to subdomain.hostname.pl/ I got 404.
If set host to subdomain.hostname.pl/webapi/webdav and if I clear remote directory I am able to connect. Unfortunately, I do not see folders which I used to see in Cyberduck.

I think we are one step further to resolve my issue. I will send you debug when I'm using subdomain.hostname.pl/webapi/webdav host.

No you didn't understand. Imo, it's the server that is misconfigured. No configuration on WinSCP side can fix it.

If Cyberduck works, and it also gets the domain="subdomain.hostname.pl", it's imo a security bug in Cyberduck that is allows you to login.

Okay, but what is exactly wrong with the server configuration? I'd like to mention that hosting provider even provides a valid file for Cyberduck configuration.

In that file hostname is set to subdomain.hostname.pl and default path set to /webapi/webdav
