long: the expect timeout is coming in and aborts the upload..

for simply putting a file online you could also
edit the ~/.netrc (see: cadaver manual) file for
automatic login without password and user prompt
and then do the following in a script:

cadaver “https://somewebdav.place” << EOF
put /tmp/${FILENAME}
exit
EOF

I understand now: spawn is available only through expect, when you run the script. Many thanks for the above example. Ok, works fine.
