Can’t delete via FTP

    hi all

    this plugin (v3.5.1) is installed on 6 websites (linux & windows, apache from 2.4.10 to 2.4.33, php from 5.6.33 to 7.2.6, 32 & 64 bits), all with exactly the same issue:

    ftp backup works fine, but when trying to delete old files from wordpress admin panel I have a blank page (linux hosted) or php warning message (windows hosted): “Login or password incorrect!” and a fatal error.

    searching in ftp server log (home hosted), the plugin use a password something like “$BackWPup$OSSL$nk5cJhFBXcDWlKI…..”, should be the hashed password not the password itself (present ‘as is’ in database at wp_options/backwpup_jobs).

    again, for backup it’s working fine, the plugin connects with the ‘good’ password.
    ftp functions in class-destination-ftp.php and class-destination-ftp-connect.php are very different… this bug should be very easy to fix.

    regards

    well, it is a very good plugin, with plenty of functionality in free version. i’m just discovering it, in particular i didn’t tested complete restore from a backup yet, so please be patient for rating.

    for the moment i hardcoded the password in php code to continue testing (not safe i know, for the moment it’s the easy solution).
    had a look again in ftp logs and saw connect and disconnect for each file deleted. i think a better practice would be to delete all selected files within the same connection.

    in the same way (not really after all) backup list is based on folder content, refreshed within each access (after a backup transfer, for example). it’s not very user-friendly, because when using one ftp account on one ftp server for multiple website, one sub-folders are needed for each website, otherwise every backup files are visible on every web sites. no easy suggestion here, maybe something based on hashed filenames stored in database…

    little bit off topic, sorry…

    again, it’s a great plugin, but a lot of work remains to be done, keep going on!

    hi

    yes it works! great!

    another very minor problem: local time is used for file name and gmt is used for backup time.

    here it’s 2 hours offset, so backup done at 1am local time is “june 13 23:00” while file is named “june 14 01:00”

    the time should be the same for better readability when browsing.

    regards
