Having problems to use remote folder option under advanced FTP options. FTP works just fine, but I am unable to redirect to spesific folder on the FTP server. Have tried from explorer and other ftp-programs, and know for sure that the secutity setting are correct. Any idea?

The simplest would be to create a new ftp account where the folder you want to keep backups is on the top level. If you would like to explore the problem however, we'd need FTP access to your server for testing.

I wanted to share one of the workarounds to make remote folder work on my FTP server.
/data00/backups/windows-servers/0/example.com/ #not working
I modified the path to:
/data00/backups/windows-servers/0/example.com/./ #working
Recompiled the password file and now it works using the subdirectories… I don’t know, but maybe the trailling “./” syntax tells pure-ftp to chroot the connection which means that a cwd to “/<dirname>” would work OK. As for why it didn’t chroot by default on the first box I don’t know… but happy it’s working now…
