Backup FTP'ing to remote server problem | Old Forum | Forum Archive

Hello,

Please forgive me if I did not see this posted elsewhere, I did search for backup FTP problems.

I am using a cron job to back up my site and then remote FTP to another server location.

The cron job is executing and the backup is being made, but the problem is the remote FTP process. I did not see a video or documentaion on this aspect.

Here is my error, if you can take a look, I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Aspen

Error:

<b>Starting JoomlaCloner for site http://www.mysite.co.....><br /><b>Creating a fullbackup</b><br /><b>Generating Backup ...</b><br /><b>Backup Done</b><br /><b>Backup file: /home/user/public_html/backup//mysite.zip</b><br /><b>Starting ftp transfer:</b><br /><br />

[/b]

I was wondering if the syntax for the remote server is not right. I've tried:

http://ftp.myremoteserver.com
http://ftp.myremoteserver.com
and
http://IP Addresss

I'm thinking this is not the problem.

The other thing might be the permissions on cloner.cron.php. Should it be 777? It's currently 755.

Thanks,
A.
