Getting a file can't be found error when testing the backup ftp destination in the WHM backup config page. If someone knows where and what test file name is let us know please.
Error: Validation for transport “username” failed: Could not upload test file: Can't open that file: No such file or directory

Hello :)

This can happen if the backup directory you entered under "FTP Destination" is not valid. You may want to enter "/" to ensure it uses the directory that you enter upon FTP login.

Thank you.
