 * I’m trying to set the external path in the FTP settings.
    Get the error message:
   Testresultaat van instelling FTP: Mislukt: er is met succes ingelogd maar er 
   kon geen bestand aangemaakt worden in de aangegeven directory. Berichten: * PHP
   event: code E_WARNING: ftp_nb_fput(): Can’t open that file: No such file or directory(
   line 93, wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/includes/ftp.class.php)
 * Login succesfull, writing a file not succesfull. I’ve set 777 for the directory
   BackupWordPress. It works fine with FileZilla and with my browser.

 * Hi,
 * There appears to be a file permission issue, meaning UpdraftPlus or WordPress
   does not have the correct read or write permission to a certain folder or file.
 * The following article on Smashing Magazine is a good guide as to the file permissions/
   ownerships that are required for WordPress: [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress)
 * Kind Regards,
    Bryle

 * I used several permissions for the directory, same error.
    It’s the external 
   path (in dutch:extern pad). When nothing is filled in and test the settings everything
   went well. ??? The path I use: [https://www.domainname.nl/name](https://www.domainname.nl/name)
   directory

 * I stopped playing around with the plugin. I read something about sftp and it 
   doesn’t support it. I found another plugin which works fine.
