[Plugin: wp Time Machine] FTP and cron

(@jerrygarciuh)

Hello,

I have recently moved from using DropBox to our own FTP as our offsite storage. Works great when manually triggered. Is it possible to use FTP storage option from cron?

When I test the potential cron command from the command line eg

curl "http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-time-machine/cron.php?clean=1"

I get

Warning: ftp_login() [function.ftp-login]: Login incorrect. in /home/mysite/mysite.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-time-machine/includes/wpTimeMachineNonSwitch.php4 on line 15

Warning: ftp_chdir() [function.ftp-chdir]: Please login with USER and PASS. in /home/mysite/mysite.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-time-machine/includes/wpTimeMachineNonSwitch.php4 on line 19

Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: Please login with USER and PASS. in /home/mysite/mysite.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-time-machine/includes/wpTimeMachineNonSwitch.php4 on line 29

My credentials and settings load when I view the Tie Machine admin page but it would appear they are not accessible to cron.php?

Any advice most welcome,

Thank you!

Correction: the command that generates the errors is no clean but generate.

curl “http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-time-machine/cron.php?generate=1”

I had the same problem – I changed the file /wp-content/plugins/wp-time-machine/includes/wpTimeMachineNonSwitch.php4 and it worked:
```
$conn = ftp_connect( 'ENTER HOST' );
        wpTimeMachine_logger( $use_log,  '--- Create ftp connection ' );
        ftp_login( $conn, 'ENTER USERNAME', 'ENTER PASSWORD' );
```
