I’ve a router netgear dgn2200 with readyshare option, that let you to have a remote ftp connection to an usb hd. This function works with normal ftp client (filezilla etc…), but if i try to use it from virtualmin “backup and restore”, i get:
Uploading archive to FTP server myip.com …
… upload failed! STOR /shares/USB_Storage/virtualmin-07-02-2012/mywebsite.tar.gz failed : Read Only
Well, the trouble is that it looks like the FTP server is giving you a Read Only error.
If it was a Port vs Passive FTP problem, you might see connection errors, or timeout errors – but what you’re getting here are Read Only errors returned by the FTP Server.
You may want to look in the logs on your FTP server to see if there’s any additional information there regarding what’s going on.
So, some news about my problem.
FTP connection via virtualmin backup is ok. The problem seems to be that virtualmin tries to upload file in the root dir and not in directory I’ve configured (in virtualmin too)…
