FTP Backups not working

[rodpascoe]

I have tried to use the remote FTP backup but am getting the following problem.

The FTP username and password are correct and I can FTP with an FTP client and make folders and move files in etc but I get the following when I try and use FTP backup from cPanel.

The logs show it logging in to the FTP account fine like this :-

Does anyone have any clue why it's failing??

I'd really appreciate some help!

Thanks in advance

Hello

Please ensure that "FTP Backup Passive Mode" is enabled via:

"WHM >> Backup >> Configure Backup"

If the issue persists, it sounds like there is an issue with the permissions for the FTP user on the remote FTP server. We can try to reproduce the issue on a support ticket:

You can post the ticket number here and we can track the issue for you.

Thank you.
