on second thought
Actually, the hostname
ort syntax works when setting up the personal FTP repository (I see Plesk connect successfully then immediately disconnect), but the actual backup has a problem with the address.
Any backup task will fail when using a FTP repository using the hostname
ort syntax with the following error:
"Unable to parse options: Bad FTP file format at /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 293."
I tracked this error down in plesk_agent_manager and hostname
ort apparently fails the following Perl regular expression test:
"if ($outputFile =~ /^ftp:\/\/(?
[^
]*)(?:
[^:]*))?@)?([^\/
]+)\/(.*?)([^\/]*?)$/)"
What's odd is that when I initiate a backup job to the personal FTP repository, Plesk actually logs in then immediately out of the FTP before failing with the error. This appears to be a bug, so hopefully Parallels will address it accordingly.
