Hi. I have an SFTP account from other server, but trying to use that with Plesk were not successful.
I use this ip in FTP server hostname or IP:

161.xxx.xxx.xxx:22

but it says "Transport error: unable to list directory: Curl error: Failure when receiving data from the peer"

Please help

1. Go through the following checklist:
   • Make sure that FTP repository server is up and running during the creation of the backup.
   • Check that firewall allows connections to TCP port 21 (iptables -L -n).
   • Make sure that file /etc/hosts.deny (TCPD wrappers) does not block access to TCP port 21 for your FTP host.
   • Connect from Plesk server to FTP server with FTP user credentials and try to upload backup manually:
     
     # ftp [email protected]
     ftp> lpwd
     ftp> cd pub
     ftp> put backup.tgz
     ftp> bye
   
   
2. When stuck on a particular step of the checklist above, check log of remote FTP server and fix the issue.

Plesk backup does not support SFTP protocol. You can use FTPS or plain FTP only
