In the future I will ;-)

I managed to create the testfiles with dd. Uploading them to HiDrive 
with the Strato frontend works without problems.

I installed rcopy but according to the manpage I have to start rcopy on 
a server system, then run rcopy with sourcefile and servername.
I never worked with rcopy before, have no experience with webdav backends.
Could you give me some additional hints how to work it?
