Trying to connect to ftp through filezilla

I guess you can create a mount location using that.

ok so is that all i need to do then

I theory it should, /mnt is a spare location, so add something off that.

ok i will try that and see what happens

when name it this box shows up

I think you need to make the directories first. Use the /mnt location and see what happens. You need the forward slash.

is this what u mean

pick a location, like i said /mnt is free. So either type it in or use button to the right to pick the location. the location needs to be empty. all else should be default

right ok i understand

now this is showing up

can you just add /var/backups, plus you have created that directory?

Also Create a ext4 filesystem first.

its just creating the ext4 filesystem now

its now mounted the filesystem as it says in the box i marked
