FTP Backups goes local when backup dir is /

Submitted by xgarreau on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 04:39

We have created a user called MIGRATE to migrate virtual-servers from test server to production server.

When we create a FTP backup to a remote server with dest dir set to / (as FTP is restricted to user dir), the backup actuelly goes local with this path /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/ftp://MIGRATE:password@production.server.tld:

In the destination ftp directory field, did you enter / or just leave the field blank?

Ok, I see the bug that is causing this now, and will fix it in the 3.89 Virtualmin release.

Till then, the work-around is to enter just /. as the backup path, rather than /
