To resolve the problem, proceed as follows:
1. Log in to the target Web server administrative console.
2. Select your Web server and click Manage.
3. Click Enable/Disable WebDAV on the Preferences tab to enable WebDAV for the Server Instance.

5. Select tab Virtual Servers and select the Virtual Server you want to manage.
6. Click the Add DAV Collection on the WebDAV tab.

8. Click the Edit DAV Collections on the WebDAV tab and click Edit ACL for the DAV Collection you just create.
