Using Backup with FTP Repository

[zeroday]

is it possible to use another port for the FTP repository other than port 21

As I have multiple FTP's running I cannot run it on port 21

when I try mydomain.com:2121 in the webinterface of plesk no error is seen but it will not upload the data
it's directly failed with
<message severity="error" code="msgtext">Unable to parse options: Bad FTP file format at /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 293.

when using on port 21 it's working but than it's on the incorrect ftp <sigh>

How can I accomplish this?

Same here -- Any ideas from anyone? I guess it may be time to peek around that source code again.

Good news - this is correctable.
Bad news - this almost certainly will affect some other part of FTP backups....maybe. I have had no troubles as of yet, but only fired a few backups manually.

You're going to need shell access, and edit:
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager

On line 266 make it look like this:

if ($outputFile =~ /^ftp:\/\/(?[^]*)(?:[^:]*))?@)?([^\/@]+)\/(.*?)([^\/]*?)$/) {

All that is removed is a colon ), about 62 characters in.

This is breaking part of the verification that this is a valid FTP session, so I have no idea what may happen if you enter invalid FTP server information....
