although this sounds rather unlikely to me, I will have a look at it and try
another SFTP client (currently I am using WinSCP 3.7.5)

The problem is the following: 
the cvs server is at the same time the web server where the application
runs. So I have to checkout to the web server. But: My IDE runs locally on
my machine and it needs the complete source code to enable it to use code
completion etc. Between my local machine and the server there is only a DSL
connection so I have the local changes mirrored to the web server (using the
SFTP client) and then do the commit from the web server. 
Any better ideas?
