Vesta Control Panel - Forum

I'm trying to setup a remote backup (admin user logged in > Server > Configure > Backup > Remote backup) using SFTP and I get the strange error: Error: expect utility not found

Does anyone know what this error mean and how to correct it?

It's worth mentioning that I can configure Remote Backup using the other protocol option (ftp), though I don't know yet if it's actually working (sending the actual backup to the remote server via ftp).

By the way, I get the same error when I try to run the following command on ssh
v-add-backup-host sftp HOST USER PASS DIR

OK I found it! The expect package should be installed before using sftp. The command to install it is:

Nice!
What was your OS? I don't see not installed expect package.
(hosting provider too in PM, if this not secret or private info)

Ubuntu 14.04 64bit
Hosting provider: VPS from Prometeus

This problem could be resolved in two ways:

• VESTA install script checks the presense of expect package and installs if needed
• The backup script checks the presense of expect package and installs if needed

.... > Server > Configure > Backup > Remote backup

Hum.... Really I dont find... Where is it ?? Please can you show ?

Login with admin and click Server > Configure (cog icon) > Backup > Remote backup

:O!
I do not have this !.. How u do that? Install some kind of package, or....?
I really want this : save on sFTP.

Should be there on the default VESTA installation.

Lol ! I miss the little green button ! (Beginner sorry !)



Thanks a lot for your quick answer !

Ps : I choose ftp finally. Easier for me...
