[FR][OS 6.1.8]Ftp Backup source hidden files
Hi, I can't manage to backup from a Linux box any file that starts with "." (period), ie hidden files. Did anybody managed to backup one .something file from remote FTP to local readynas share? M...
First thing, .htaccess is used for apache. This means you backup a webserver. May I recommend you to create an archive with "bzip2" or "tar" before the transfer ? this would both make you save time in the end (one big file is easier to tranfer by FTP) and solve your problem. If you are interested I may have something to help you backup the web server and its mysql database (if I can find it).
Other option include copy via SCP (SSH), or using other protocols (rsync, cifs...).
I'm not an FTP fan, so there ought to be a solution but I just don't have enough practice to see it. I would look at the rights for the files, .htaccess tend to have restrictive rights. Then I would check the ftp server config to see if there are no blacklisted files.
