FTP
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. JetBackup supports remote FTP backups. This destination is used to copy files/folders from your local server to a remote FTP location.
An example configuration page for the destination:
Destination Name
A generic name for your internal ease of use, so it will be easier to recognize the backup destination roll, in case you have more than one.
Max length is 40 characters.
Backup Directory
This will be our starting point when accessing this destination.
The path is relative to the remote user's home dir.
/home/USERNAME will be your starting point.
Write your path to where you want the backup to be stored.
Remote Host
A simple hostname or IP address to access the remote backup server.
Port
Your remote port. Default port is 21.
Remote Username
The remote user to login with. It is recommended to create a dedicated user for backups and not use root user.
Remote Password
Password for the provided ssh user.
JetBackup will create all necessary keys for remote login on the remote server.
Connection Timeout
Timeout for the connection. The default value is 30 (The connection time out in seconds), you can increase this if the connection to the remote server is poor and you might face longer timeout issues.
Maximum connection retries
The maximum number of failed connections attempts (Insert 0 for unlimited).
Maximum concurrent connections
The maximum number of connections at the same time (Insert 0 for unlimited).
Secure SSL-FTP connection
Opens an explicit SSL-FTP connection.
Passive FTP
In an active mode configuration, the server will attempt to connect to a random client-side port. So chances are, it will be blocked by the firewall. Usually, a passive configuration will not pose a problem and it's the default one.
