    Hi,

    I am trying to get my updraft backups to upload to my home Ubuntu Server using FTP.
    I have entered the IP, the login and password in the UpdraftPlus FTP settings, but it says it timed out.
    I have properly allowed the ports through the firewall on the server and router.
    I attempted to ftp into it using the terminal on my personal Linux machine with the same details and it works perfectly.
    Do I need to specify ftp before the IP in the settings?
    What should I do?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I’ve previously seen this, but nothing stated here works.

    My question is, for a Ubuntu FTP Server, what is the required link, ex. http://Ftp.example.com
    What is required when I only have an IP.

    The FTP server field needs to be in the format of http://ftp.example.com, it will not accept an IP address

    Hi,

    By default the backup goes to your local server if no other remote storage is selected and/or if you leave the option to “Delete local backups” option checked in Settings>>Show expert settings
