# FTP Connection Issue

 * Hi,
 * I use BACKWPUP usually but I am having trouble recently with extremely long script
   execution times. I back up to FTP, which is a DYNDNS account linked to a computer
   in my house.
 * Apart from the time it takes, that works well with BACKWPUP.
 * However, I wanted to try BackUp Scheduler as it seems more light weight on the
   resources.
 * The only problem is that I just can’t get FTP to work, as it always tells me 
   that it can’t resolve the host!
 * I don’t see log files anywhere in the plugin directory, so I am asking for help
   here simply with the information above.
 * My PHP.ini is set up with the following values for testing, to avoid time outs:
 *     ```
       upload_max_filesize = 128M
       post_max_size = 128M
       max_execution_time = 360
       memory_limit = 256M
       max_input_vars = 5000
       max_input_time = 120
       ```
   
 * Appreciate any suggestions..
    Just to add: I use a custom port (not 21) and am
   obviously specifying that in the field

 * If host cannot be resolved it often come from the configuration of your web host…
   Nothing I can do I am afraid
