So I enabled write access over HTTP. Logged in as admin and then I can see all the shares I enabled write access. I click through the tree to the directory, where I have some undeletable files. So far great.
But: It doesn't show any files in all directories (they are there, for sure).
Help says:
"Why does the file manager seem broken in certain directories or when copying or pasting certain files?
This occurs when the web file manager does not have permission to access these files. You must access these files via another method."
Nice, there is a built-in HTTP file manager, but if I want to use it, I have to use "another method". :D
Is there a way to get the permission?

The HTTP file manager will run as user "admin" even if you logged in as another user. It's a limitation due to the service. But the effect is if the file is owned by another user and "admin" does not have access to it, you'll have some problems. Perhaps try using dbott67's suggestion of using a FTP or SCP client. For SCP, you would need to enable SSH support however.
