How does FTP work?

    Hello,

    Are there any clear instructions on how works FTP sending?
    Is this done between two servers? Let’s say server1 is where the backup resides and server2 is a remote server for storing alternate backups. How do both servers connect and why there is no username & password for FTP server2?

    How to setup this and what are the limitations? Do I have to check limitations at both servers?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Server should have a ftp server … that is all : the server 1 connects with the server 2 by using its embedded FTP clients.
    There is connection info when you click on FTP option … (hidden if you do not click)

    What do you mean by limitation ?

    Yes, I can see the connection info when clicking on FTP option but there is only a box for the address – there are no username & pass to use here? I mean server 2 needs credentials, no?

    By limitations I’m meaning size o memory limits.

    Yes indeed the server need credentials and normally credential fields should be displayed … Could you provide a screen shot ?

    Yes, you are right: all fields are now appearing. I deactivated and re-activated and they all now show correctly. I’m currently in a region with low connectivity and the problem was probably related to that.

    Problem solved, thanks for your assistance.
