Step 3: Select the Second Folder



In the third step of the New Task Wizard you need to define the second folder. It can be located on any local or external drive seen by Windows Explorer, or on a remote FTP/SFTP server.

Synchronizing with an FTP folder

Handy Backup: FTP Folder Synchronize

To back up to FTP you will need to specify Host, Port, User, Password, Location and Proxy settings.


  • Host: Enter the FTP server name.
  • Port: Enter the port number. The default value is 21.
  • User: Enter your FTP user name.
  • Password: Enter your FTP password.
  • Location: Type a path of a remote directory to store your backup to, or click the Select FTP folder button to select it via the Select FTP folder dialog.

Handy Backup: FTP Synchronization Dialog

The Select FTP folder dialog window consists of two parts. The upper part contains the list of folders available on the FTP server, while the other shows the FTP session log messages. After establishing an FTP connection, the list of remote directories will appear. Select the desired directory, and then click Select. To create a new directory, click New folder.


  • Click Proxy if your computer is inside a firewall. The Proxy server settings dialog will appear.
  • Handy Backup: FTP Sync Proxy Settings
    1. Check Use FTP proxy if you want to use FTP proxy. Specify FTP proxy host and, if necessary, authorization data.

    2. Check Use SOCKS server if you want to use SOCKS server. Select type of the SOCKS server, specify the server name and, if necessary, authorization data.

    3. When finished, click OK.

  • Click Try in passive mode to initiate the FTP connection, rather than relying on the remote server to set it up. This may be necessary if a firewall does not allow establishing a connection from the outside.

Synchronizing with an SFTP folder


Synchronizing with an SFTP folder is very similar to synchronizing with FTP, except that Port is 22, and Proxy and Try in passive mode are unavailable. To synchronize with SFTP you will need to specify Host, Port, User, Password and Location.


  • When finished, click Next.
