FTP transfer problem | Joomla Support | Forum Archive

Usefull information: Joomla 1.5, Rokettheme template
identifying information, like server names, config file name, login info was changed for security purposes.

Backups work! After the backup, the file is to be transferred to another server (/home/backupserver/public_html/conf1).

In the email below the file path from the put command in the warning message is wrong but the paths extracted from the config (conf1.php) are correct in the rest of the email. It looks like the put command is not getting the path from the config.

This is after the directory permissions involved were temporarily changed to 777.

The following is the warning message from the next days backup after I blanked out the delivery path in the conf1.php config file. Its trying to find the directory in the current server (/home/origserver/)instead of the backup server (/home/backupserver/) server where FTP connected.

Before this last backup I blanked out the delivery path for the ftp operation in the conf1.php config file and successfully completed a manual  file move using the cloners ftp transfer.
