    Hi,

    I am trying to make a backup fo the website and for that I am testing the FTP and keep getting the following message:

    FTP settings test result: Failure: we successfully logged in, but were not able to create a file in the given directory.

Messages:
* 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)

    The path I am giving exists, I have created and tested it. What could be the issue?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    This indicates that the FTP data channel is being blocked by a firewall or security module.

    This uses an arbitary port to send data to the FTP server.
    Please could you ask your server admin/hosts check the firewall settings for the site and ensure that the FTP data channel is not being blocked?

    Best Wishes,
    Bryle

    Hi, I have contacted my provider, they said that they have checked and whitelisted my ip, but I still keep getting the same error.

    It might be worth checking the following

    – The file you are trying to write to exists.
    – The FTP user account you are using has permission to upload files to that location.
    -The filepath in the UpdraftPlus settings is also relative to the FTP user root directory, so you shouldn’t enter the full path.

    Hi, thank you for the reply, what exactly do you mean under “the file exists”?
    As for the permissions – I have checked them already, seems it is ok.
    I have also tried relative path, but still can not seem to make it work.

    Anything else I can try?

    The file exists – By this I mean that you need to create the folder before you try and send any Backups to it.
