Hi All,

Thought I'd share a few simple steps on setting up your Free 100 GB FTP Backup service on your Dedibox server.

To start, please head over to the online Documentation on activating your service.

Activating your FTP Backup Service.

Probably a good idea to create a new password for the FTP account. FTP transfers are not encrypted so your data is sent in plain text. Currently using mine to store Proxmox ISO's and templates, it's not really suggested to transfer sensitive data over FTP.

Once your backup service is active, we can start with the following..

Zip / Unzip

Your Dedibox comes with 100GB or 1000 files which ever comes first.. So it's best to compress your files before uploading to your FTP server.

Installing Zip and Unzip:

apt-get install zip unzip

To Zip a file:

zip NameForFile file1 file2 file3

To Unzip:
unzip NameOfFile

Or install WinSCP a FTP, SFTP, SCP Client for Windows.


Login to your FTP server

SSH into your server and issue the following:

For DC3:
ftp dedibackup-dc2.online.net

For DC2:
ftp dedibackup-dc3.online.net

Input the following:

  • login name
  • password


Enabling Passive mode

Once logged in you may receive this message

500 FTP active mode is forbidden, passive mode is mandatory

Enter passive mode:
passive


Useful Commands

Type ? at the ftp> prompt for a list of commands and ? NameOfCommand for an explanation

To change directory on FTP server:
cd /destination/directory

To list the files in the FTP directory:
ls

To change directory on local server:
lcd /destination/directory

To list the files in the local directory:
!ls

To Download a file from Remote FTP to Local server:
get FileName

To upload a file from Local server to Remote FTP:
put FileName

To terminate connection with current FTP server:
close

To terminate connection and exit from FTP:
quit

Well that's the basics. There are more commands in the reference link section I've listed below.
