FTP Sync — AnyFileBackup

Topic Content

This option defines Source properties for FTP (file transport protocol) servers and folders.

FTP Account

▪	Account name

Select a name of a pre-configured FTP account from the drop down list. If there is none, or you need to create a new one, access FTP account properties as described below.

▪	Account properties

Click the 'Edit' button to access the FTP Accounts manager where you can create and configure your FTP accounts. Detailed information about this can be found here.

▪	Source folder

A name of the FTP server directory, where Source files are located.

That should be a full path from the server's root but excluding the FTP server address.

Example: /FTP/IN/DATA/

A note on VMS FTP servers:

▪	Notation: AnyFileBackup recognises whether a remote server runs VMS and automatically converts UNIX/Linux notation into appropriate VMS notation. Therefore, you must use usual UNIX/Linux notation for pointing to the remote directory ('/FTP/IN/DATA/') instead of VMS notation ('[FTP.IN.DATA]').

▪	Passive mode: use FTP passive mode when connecting to a VMS-based FTP server.

Miscellaneous

▪	Verify settings

Press the 'Start' button to direct AnyFileBackup to immediately launch this action. This will verify whether all above settings were entered correctly; all errors, if any, will be displayed in a log window.

▪

Title

This is a custom name that will be displayed in the Task Scenario instead of the default title. Press the 'Apply' button for changes to take effect.
