How to Backup FTP Files
You can use the FTP server either as a source of backup data or as a destination where you will keep your backups. In both cases, you need to link FTP backup software Handy Backup with a particular FTP server, creating a new connection.
On the connection dialog, set up a name of that new connection, a server name, and provide a pair of login and password for accessing to FTP. You can also select a remote folder on an FTP server to access it as backup source or destination. After entering all parameters, click OK.
Choosing an FTP Backup Hosting as Data Destination
To use FTP backup storage, select FTP as the destination. You can perform it on Step 3, when you are creating a new backup task, or later, by editing task properties, on the “Storage” tab.
Selecting an FTP Server as Data Source
If you want to perform FTP backup (e.g. copying website content through FTP connection), choose FTP as the source of data. Again, you can apply it on Step 2 when you are creating a new task, or by editing an existing task using the tab "Backup set".
