Hi Ed, thanks for your answer. Of course I will do what you proposed and ask my provider to configure the sshd daemon for sftp.
1) But: I'm practicing FTP to this very same server since about 1996 and always with the freeware version of WS_FTP. Never with any failure. So it escapes me, why now the server is the cause for this mistake. 2) I did in fact upload all necessary webpages to this server with the evaluation version of WS_FTP V7. So, principally, the communication works. The complaint is that WS_FTP Version 7 did upload some webpages which it was not supposed to do (because they haven't changed since the last upload).
