Restore: Error: FTP network error

[Trixi.com]

I have a huge 2GB file (complete backup) at my Personal FTP Repository. When I try restore I have to copy it to Server Repository via Plesk 9.3...

Problem: I always get an "Error: FTP network error" after 2 seconds....it does not start to restore...my Personal FTP Repository Settings are 100 % ok as I have done the backup with theses datas, I may login to FTP via SSH etc...the file exists...

What could be wrong?

Thank you

Gerald

Usually this issue is caused by insufficient local disk space. Consider increasing /tmp disk allocation to accommodate for largest backup file to be downloaded

Thank you Igor. As I am very new to Ples / Command line etc...just some stupid questions:

Where will be de backup file copied by default from my FTP server? How to free up space?

Thank you

As you can see there is no free diskspace on / and /tmp partitions:

/dev/md1 950M 950M 0 100% /
....
none 990M 990M 4.0K 100% /tmp

Therefore you should delete some unnecessary files/directories there for correct Plesk operation.

Thanx again Igor...another stupid question: I do not have clear, how to access /dev/md1/ -

I have not really clear the structure...in var are all the webs etc, right? In USR there is the system located I guess....

But where do I have to delete...?



Entering with Putty or WinSCP I see

Thank you Igor for your reply. I cleaned a bit, but I am not sure which files I may delete at md1 without damaging the system.... /tmp is empty now and I have 1GB more...but the file to be restored is 2GB - so I guess I need anyway another solution....


Is there a way to "tell the system" to transfer the file to another place, /var for expample - there is a lot of space....


Thank you

Hi Igor,

I deleted files and have no space:

/tmp$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 950M 250M 652M 28% /
/dev/md5 4.7G 1.5G 3.2G 33% /usr
/dev/md7 221G 31G 190G 14% /var
/dev/md6 4.7G 4.4M 4.7G 1% /home
none 990M 4.0K 990M 1% /tmp

Probelm: In /tmp I have 990M and in /dev/md1 652M...but the file to restore is 2GB. Question: Where is the file from FTP copied by default? Which path?

Maybe it would be a way to send it to /var where a lot of space is available...but how?

Tx

Gerald

Or maybe there is a way to copy from FTP directly to the final destination on the server?

Problem: I can not use a FTP client - as my server is 1&1 and I have to be in the network, connection via root / SSH...

How may I copy the 2GB file from my FTP repository to the place where Plesk need it?

Saludos

GErald

You can use scp command for transferring file if you have ssh access.
