FTP Schedul Backup failsure

Hi

If I try to save my virtual host to a network HD (iomega NAS 500) with FTP i got this error:

"Starting backup of 1 domains to //nethdd/BACKUP/Webserver on FTP server 192.168.2.4 ..

Failed to connect to FTP server : CWD / failed : Failed to change directory. Backup failed! See the progress output above for the reason why."

I have the rights to acces the directory, via command shell it works.

can anybody help me to solve this problem.

"See the progress output above for the reason why." Where can I find a detailed log file about this error?

thx in advance opaque

Howdy,

What I would do is log into your FTP server, from your Virtualmin Server -- and try to 'cd' into the exact directory that is setup in the Backup Schedule (ie, cut & paste the full directory name that is listed in there).

Upon doing that, does it work?

Can you attach a screenshot of the "Destination and format" section of your Scheduled Backup that isn't working?

Thanks,

Howdy,

Okay, here's what I'm seeing --

Whenever you logged in on the command line, you had tried typing "cd Webserver":

226 Directory send OK.
ftp> cd Webserver
250 Directory successfully changed.

However, in your screenshot, the directory that you have listed in there isn't "Webserver", it's "/Webserver".

Try it again from the command line, and use the "/" with your test, something like:

cd /Webserver

I suspect with that, you'll see the same problem as the backup procedure is having :-)

It works with "Webserver" not with "/Webserver" on the command line.

In the Virtualmin Interface nothing works. See Screenshots:
