FTP backups

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

If "FTP" is selected as backup type, the creation dialog for a FTP backup will arise. Here are some additional settings to be made.

 

sb_createftp_en

 

The properties dialog is omitted because it looks the same, except from the buttons at the bottom of the dialog.

 

Destination path

Here you can insert the directory to where the backup has to be performed to.

 

Server

Type in the IP address or server DNS name, which you want to backup to.

 

Port

Specify the port the FTP server is listening to. The FTP default port is 21.

 

Login

The user account you want to use for backup.

 

Password

The password which belongs to the specified user account.

 

Use Passive Mode

Check this option if you know that the FTP Server uses passive mode for communication, otherwise leave it blank (active mode is used per default).

 

Test connection

After you typed in the configuration data of the backup job you can test if a connection to the given server with the login data can be established successfully. A dialog will show you the result of the test.
