Shorter version of log. New version appears to have same problem. I left the window open during a BACKUP NOW. All other files are transferring which appears to validate ftp connectivity.
It looks like the database is not being allowed to upload per UpDraftPlus. It uploaded for months. Unfortunately ALL previous versions of database have been aged-out. Confidence has dropped.

the site is http://www.nc3.mobi but the problem only appears in the wp panels. You can reach me at jejaffe@nc3.mobi
I changed settings to MANUAL
to NOT download
Plugins Themes Uploads Any other directories found inside wp-content
then did a BACKUP NOW expecting only the backup-xxx-db.gz
near as I can tell the backup worked. I downloaded the backup file to my local drive.
The problem appears to be in the ftp code, but the error message is not specific. This is the same host that has been in use since the beginning. Other files are being transferred. Why is the -db.gz file not being transferred? The size of the -db.gz file is 1.5MB. Is is malformed? I am unable to test it.
jejaffe@nc3.mobi
Here is the log file from the one manual backup of the -db.gz file with the advanced option set for verbose reporting.
I think (but what do I know?) this is the important section

Hi,
The error that you are receiving could be related to the FTP account being full. Check the disk space on the FTP server.
If it is not the FTP disk space, you will need to ask the FTP server admin to check the FTP server logs. These should contain details of the error that is occurring.
Don’t think it can be disk space. I tried the -db file alone at 1.5MB and got the same error. Other files, such as -uploads are 24MB and upload fine. According to ftp host there were no changes made at there end.
Hi,
The best thing to do would be to speak to whoever operates the FTP server, send them the log, and ask them to let you know what’s happening at their end at the time of the FTP error. From this end, all that can be seen is that the FTP server says “no – I won’t accept that”. There’s no information available (the FTP protocol is rather sparse) on why it decided to do that. That information only gets logged at the other end – and so the best thing to do is speak to the server admin at that end.
David
I appreciate your reply.
The other files are being transferred via your excellent wp plug-in.
There are two possibilities:
a) something in the sending code is mis-interpreting something.
b) the receiver does a virus scan right before issuing an “operation not permitted” and abending.
I renamed the backup-xxxx-db.gz to xx.gz and attempted a manual backup. Failed at the same point. Is it possible the -db.gz is being interpreted as a virus laden file and being (properly) blocked?
the -db.gz from 11/12 is a different size than 11/11, but gets the same treatment. Can you send to me a small anything.gz file to test? I wonder if they blocked .gz files all together? thx

I have a ticket in to Powweb. They didn’t reply to multiple emails.
<sigh>
Thanks again for your help.
Sorry for the delay. I obtained another gz file from someone not connected to any of my sources. It uploaded fine invalidating the hypothesis that all .gz files were being rejected.
According to Powweb they tried to open the uploaded -db.gz file and it was malformed. I see these options:
a) The WP database is corrupt and the -db.gz file is an authentic representation being reported as virus laden. I don’t know how to test the WP database for integrity.
b) The WP database is NOT corrupt and the -db.gz file is malforming it. I don’t know how to test the WP database for integrity.
As others use the UD software I would hope a program error would have been caught by other people who would notify you. On the other hand some users of WordPress are not technically inclined. They may be assuming that everything is fine, not checking logs or have even turned on success notification.
I see the next step to validate the underlying database. I add and edit material often. The site appears to work, but that may not enough. It will answer the valid or not question.
I’ll work on that and post again.
I appreciate your help.

Unable to locate a reference for validation testing of WP database without potential of alteration. Found multiple optimizers, including
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-optimize/
but all of the database backups have aged out and been deleted. The only ones I can see are reported corrupt I dare not attempt an operation that could literally wipe out the site and the three years of work that went in to it.
Any idea what to do or whom to ask?
thx
Jonathan
According to Powweb they tried to open the uploaded -db.gz file and it was malformed. I see these options:
I’d prefer to verify that, before suggesting what to do in consequence. Please send your database through to us at contact at updraftplus.com. (Note to anyone else reading this thread – don’t use that email address for support; you’re unlikely to see a reply; use the forum (or if you’re a paying customer, the official channels), instead).

Hi,
I received your database backup – and verified that it was not malformed.Below is the first 15 lines of it:

What led your hosting company to say that it was corrupted – did they explain?
David
only that they could not open it. Still, any reason why is it (and all subsequent attempts for more than a week) are being interpreted as a virus laden file? If I can’t get it to transfer then ftp is useless.
thx
Hi,
You’ll have to ask them what virus checker they’re using. It’s a false positive result from their virus checker, which they’ll need to configure their virus checker to not do. Which virus do they claim it is infected with?
One service you can use to scan the file with is https://www.virustotal.com/ , which submits it to 40 separate anti-virus products. I haven’t done that with your file as that’s a 3rd party website. I checked it with my local virus scanner, as well as reading its contents manually to verify that it’s a normal SQL database backup which opens normally in any appropriate tool.
David
