pjb23 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Posted October 4, 2003 Is there a way to configure Retrospect Mac OS X v5.x to use sftp instead of ftp? My backup server is also my webserver so I do not want to open up the ftp ports on that computer. I do have ssh turned on and would prefer to use sftp for backups. I am trying to have the host computers backup via ftp instead of using clients if possible.
natew Posted October 7, 2003 Report Posted October 7, 2003 Hi Unfortunately Retrospect can't do this natively. It is a great idea though. Maybe you could use a shell script to set up an secure connection to the remote machine and then use Retrospect FTP from there? - I know... this is pretty far fetched but it will be a good chance to get some quality time with your computer.

awnews Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 When did Retrospect start supporting FTP? I'm using FTP with another backup program that I won't name here (lest I bring down the wrath of the mods...). One other idea (using Internet Neighborhood Pro to map FTP locations as drive letters) was discussed in the following thread. I did recently have to deinstall this program from two of my PCs since it was causing XP SP1 to occasionally blue-screen. http://forums.dantz.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Server&Number=21699&Forum=All_Forums&Words=Internet%20Neighborhood&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=21698&Search=true#Post21699
natew Posted October 8, 2003 Report Posted October 8, 2003 Hi Unfortunately this feature is only available in the Mac version of Retrospect. Nate
