Target — FTP / SFTP / FTPS

Configure an FTP, SFTP, or FTPS server folder as a Target for a Backup task.

FTP Server

FTP path
The full path to the FTP Target folder. Must be entered manually.
Connect via account
Select a pre-configured FTP account from the drop-down list. Press Configure to open the FTP Accounts manager.

File Filters

Accept the listed files only
Only files matching the listed masks are transferred to this FTP Target. Masks must overlap with Source-level include filters (if set) and must not be completely excluded by Source-level exclude filters.
Reject the listed files
Files matching the listed masks are not transferred to this FTP Target; all others are transferred normally.

File Options

Modify before transfer
A transformation applied to each file before it is transferred to this Target:
  • None — file is transferred as-is.
  • Compress — compress each file into a ZIP archive before transfer.
  • Uncompress — extract each file from its ZIP archive before transfer.
  • Compress and encrypt — compress then encrypt. Requires File Encryption extension.
  • Decrypt and uncompress — decrypt then extract. Requires File Encryption extension.
Set source file timestamp
When enabled, the Target file receives the same timestamp as its Source counterpart. When disabled, the Target file is timestamped at the time of transfer.
Restore directory tree
When enabled, the full subfolder structure from Source is reproduced in the FTP Target. When disabled, all files are placed in the Target root.
Enabled
When disabled, this Target is ignored during task execution (shown as struck-out in the task scenario).
