cannot use Personel FTP backup

[jedn]

I'm running into a problem using Personal FTP backup - namely that the FTP username given to me by my backup provider contians full-stop . elements to it and Plesk returns a "You can use alphanumeric, dash and underscore symbols in the login name" error.

is there anyway around this without chaning the username (which i cannot do)

Unfortunately it is impossible because there are different system restrictions. For example, curl which is used for FTP backup can't work with incorrect usernames, etc.

[email protected]

it isnt exactly an unusual format or anything....
