Cobian Backup to FTP

[j3nsen]

Hello people.

Im a total rookie looking for some help understanding Cobian Backup.

i am trying to make a autobackup to a FTP server, but when i write the login credencials an run the task, i get the following error: "ERR 2023-09-19 09:09 Couldn't connect to "ftp.seerupit.com:21": Non-anonymous sessions must use encryption."

Can any of you guys help me fix the problem?

Thank you very much.

The server doesn't allow plain text connections. Use an Implicit or Explicit connection instead.

Uncheck Always create top parent folder on the Advanced properties of the task.

This error requires an encrypted connection. To enable FTPS in Cobian Backup, you can go to the Tasks tab, select the task,crossover grid and check the Use FTPS box under the FTP tab.
