Cannot download ftp backup (remote) from an offsite server
Cannot download ftp backup (remote) from an offsite server
I have setup FTP backup in vestacp to an offsite FTP backup provider.
- The backups are being done properly (and sent to the FTP server)
However, when I try to download the backup from the control panel, it does not work. (I can access the backups fine via Filezilla if I directly connect to the ftp provider's server)
It just give me a blank page
Permissions in /home/backup are set correctly as admin:admin

Looks like your browser block download from insecure url.

Is normal when not delete from FTP server.
Session on FTP open when contact to upload backup.
Delete is working on NFS,Storage server, or when mount remote server on some folder something like /mnt/srvbackup with SFTP

So what to do that I can download the backup? I only get a blank page

If you can login on remote server with ssh you can use the sftp or rsync or scp from remote to local.geek wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 12:46 pmSo what to do that I can download the backup? I only get a blank page
I use the rsync command to sync local folder with remote server folder
Code: Select all
rsync -chavzP --rsh --progress -O username@remoteserver_IP_domain:/home/username/web/backup /home/username/web/backup
And for this work and more secure not use standard ssh port 22 change it to other number but more secure use the SSH Keys

Re: Cannot download ftp backup (remote) from an offsite server
@linuxman. I can either use FTP or SFTP.
I had hoped to do this from Vesta GUI config (not that I can't use the CLI).
The whole reason why I wanted to use ONLY remote backup is because I don't have much space on the VPS. So I wanted vestacp to backup directly to the FTP/sftp server automatically.
I wanted to know whether this is a bug in vestaCP or is it designed that way? (not able to download remote backups from vestacp UI)

FTP backup is very old, ok is most quick to setup and not need serious tools.
To backup automatically see the docs How to configure FTP backup
