 * Hi,
 * There appears to be a file permission issue, meaning UpdraftPlus or WordPress
   does not have the correct read or write permission to the folder.
 * The following article on Smashing Magazine is a good guide as to the file permissions/
   ownerships that are required for WordPress: [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress)
 * Kind Regards,
    Bryle

 * I have this exact same issue atm using Updraftplus too. Have tried file full 
   file paths, full permissions 7,7,7 for the folder and I am struck!!
 * Any other tips?

 * I have the same issue. I don’t think bcrodua’s reponse solved the original post’s
   issue.
 * I have the problem on a virtual host, but not on a local web server.
 * Could this be because of php safe-mode?

 * I’m trying this now but also get “Can’t open that file: No such file or directory(
   line 93, wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/includes/ftp.class.php)” though the destination
   folder has 777 permissions.
    I presume the folder path should begin as displayed
   in FTP (FileZilla for me) – /home/mysite/www/…?
 * Also, I don’t use any of the Cloud options offered but do use others (e.g. hubiC).
   How can I stipulate a different server?
 * Several Support Qs are marked as “Resolved” but the solution isn’t published!?
