    Hello,

    I have been having the following error since about version 3.0.3 with all of my sites – while backing up to FTP:

    WARNING: ftp_delete() [function.ftp-delete]: myFolderName/backwpup_1_2013-03-03_01-02-34.zip: No such file or directory
    [12-Mar-2013 12:58:41] ERROR: Cannot delete “myFolderName/backwpup_1_2013-03-03_01-02-34.zip” on FTP server!

    The backup zips are in-fact there, but are not being pruned as they should. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

  • Hi there !
    Thanks Caspar for this great plugin.
    After few investigations, I think the problem is a bug when storing successful backup infos, and retrieving the existing FTP file list:

    These problems appear only when the “Folder to store files in” field is not empty (ie you decide to store your backups in a FTP subfolder)
    When updating the lastbackupdownloadurl (line 335 in class-destination-ftp.php) you use $current_ftp_dir instead of $job_object->backup_folder. This leads to wrong FTP download links in the Backups list.

    In that backup list, the Folder is wrong (it shows on my site (with “Folder to store files in” set to MyFolder): ftp://some.ftp.sever.net:21./ instead of ftp://some.ftp.sever.net:21/MyFolder/ (again, $current_ftp_dir equals ‘.’ and the backup_folder is not taken in account). As a side effect, the date of the backups are always Jan, 1 1970, and backup size always ‘?’

    This should explain the FTP deletion error.

    I think there’s no bugs if you leave the “Folder to store files in” field empty.

    Hope this helps

    Regards !

    @labarbiche: Thanks.

    I have improved the file deletion and found a bug in filename checking. Will resolved with next update.

    @daniel Huesken: Thanks! Very good news!

    Thank you! Great news! And thanks for a great plugin!

    Just to inform that this problem is solved in 3.0.7 version. I’ve updated now and tested. Everything is working fine with file deletion. Thanks to all.

    Best regards,

    Luiz Ricardo
