Flexibility is great, as long as the software works. This plugin has not worked even once for me, and believe me, I’ve made quite a few attempts.

Luckily for me, all I need to do is automatically back up my blogs and databases reliably via ftp on a schedule. Updraft does that flawlessly (at least it has so far, and it worked the first time with no issues)

Good luck with your problem, my friend. Mine is solved. ??

To anyone having problems getting ftp to work in Backwpup: I have found another similar plugin called Updraft that does pretty much the same thing that Backwpup does, except that the ftp portion actually works (and also has debug mode).

To the developer of Backwpup: Perhaps it would benefit you to take a look at the Updraft code to help you fix your ftp problems.

Any suggestions as to how to debug ftp problems?

is there any way to get more logging information for ftp errors? I have not been able to get the ftp portion of the plugin to work, on multiple sites with different ftp servers. I can transfer files all day using other ftp clients, so I know it’s not an authentication issue. I’ve tried with SSL and without, passive enabled and disabled, no luck.

Same problem here. I came here hoping to find a fix already posted.
