I'm trying to run WHM /cPanel backups to remote FTP server but getting these errors if anyone could advise?

Did you specify a folder and if so is it already created

I have set backup to /server1 in WHM and have created the folder server1 on my storage VPS.

If you use firewall are ports for passive mode open ? both on outgoing and incoming

In your place I'll use SFTP more simple to setup and more secure

Look like somethig wrong in remote ftp.

I have re-installed centos but still the same issue.

I am not sure this issue as the same as Kloxo issue or not. In Kloxo, remote server using mod_php for apache have a trouble. Need change to mod_ruid2, mod_itk or suphp.

Rebooted server and started working now even though still showing this

Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2e7a828)<<< 550 Create directory operation failed.</pre>

@n1kko do you have the correct permissions on the ftp user/folder?
