Can't upload file 'BACKUPFILENAME.xml' to ftp. Error code: 1

Xavier12

Regular Pleskian
Hey guys,

Getting an error when my personal ftp server is setup correctly. Here is the error:

Can't upload file 'BACKUPFILENAME.xml' to ftp. Error code: 1

This happens when either a schedule ftp backup or manual ftp backup is initiated.

Please advise, thanks.
 
Hi Abdi,

Thanks for the support. Yes, I have twice as much of space for the backup and its still somehow sending back the error mentioned.

Please advise, thanks.
 
Hello Xavier,
Just to rule out the problem being the FTP server, try ftp-ing it and uploading a file or 2 to it right from your server, using the #ftp command.
 
Could you please show more related details of this error from /usr/local/psa/PMM/sessions/<backup_date_here>/migration.result log file?

I have two identical machines:

- I make one local backup and does not give any errors.
- Other machine's external ftp backup and gives two errors: can not upload xml file and watchdog: The Web Server (Apache) and (Ngnix) service on host is down, every day at the same time.

Hi

same error on my server (OS CentOS 6.5 (Final), Plesk version 12.0.18 Update #55):

ERROR: () Can't upload file 'backup_info_1507190011.xml' to ftp. Error code: 1

backup has been copied to ftp, but file on server is larger than on ftp (perhaps because it is .tar?) and it has different name...
Please check screen prints:

Hi,
i'm having the same error on my server for three weeks. Before my backup task was working ok, but now it uploads the file to the remote ftp server with different size, and gives me the Error code: 1. I've to clean manually my /var/lib/psa/dumps folder, because it fills my server....

Any help??

Thanks a lot!!
