Failure during copy between two NAS FTP

Hello world,

I set up a backup task on my ReadyNas 102 with FTP protocol.
When I run it I got this :


Backup Job Name: Day
Backup Job Type: Incremental
Protocol: ftp
Backup Source: [SwagShare]/
Backup Destination: [remote:ftp]/ftp://192.168.0.49//shares/Backup/NAS
Backup Start Time: Thu Jun 25 2015 10:51:26
Backup Finish Time: Thu Jun 25 2015 10:51:27
Backup Status: Fail: failure during copy.



And nothing more...
My destination is an older NAS (STOREX) with FTP access allowed (I can upload file on the same directory with Filezilla) and many free disk space...

Can somebody help ?

Thanks

  • Have you tried omitting the ftp:// from the path?

    It's probably a path syntax problem.
  • Nope.
    The "ftp://" is added auto by the NAS.

    When I configure the backup task and then I click on "test connection" it say successfully connected on FTP...

    I am thinking the // before shares is the issue. If you have /shares in the backup job configuration, perhaps try removing the /.

    FTP is not the best backup protocol - if the older NAS supports rsync that would probably work better overall.
