Backup4all supports backing up to a remote computer or device using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) connection. This is a practical backup destination because the backed up data can be easily accessed from any other computer with an Internet connection.
Destination
Select the FTP server option from the Destination window to be able to configure the backup to FTP. If the current backup destination is not an FTP server, you can change it by checking the Change destination to FTP option.
Use existing configuration
Use this option if you want to use an already defined FTP location in Tools->Options->FTP. From the drop-down list, select the FTP location you want to use.
Custom configuration
Use this option to add a new FTP location or to edit an existing one by pressing the Edit configuration button.
Description
Here you can see a listing of the FTP settings.
If you configured a new FTP location or you edit an existing one, you should use the Test FTP connection button to see if the FTP settings are correct. If the test was successful, The ftp connection was tested successfully message will be displayed.
Once you press the OK button, Backup4all will try to connect to the FTP server to see if a backup catalog already exists on the destination. If the FTP destination is not available, a Cannot connect to the FTP server message is displayed in the status bar (bottom of the main window).
