No. I put that in the file manually. But I think you misunderstand FTP
backup a little bit...

It really be more or less of an issue with the backup FTP server and how
you are (or might be) restricted behind a firewall. In the larger sense,
FTP works fine for me except there is a memory leak when the backup runs
for 30 days or so it seems to stop and the memory is not all released after
each backup job (there is another JIRA for that). The way to fix the backup
"stopped working" is to delete the job and recreate it.

It would seem to be simpler to use SMB and use a cron/amanda script to move
your onboard backups from your host to a back server.

We have also tested and used a webdav client to make the backup from the
onboard backup within sipx to a WEBDAV enabled FTP server.

The issue I brought up (JIRA) you can try but if there is NAT between your
sipx and the ftp server you should see what the FTP server is sending and
why it stops. That JIRA was for the FTP server has to FTP configuration
files to phones (it is the ftp server and the phones are the ftp ua's).

In general, I have never had an instance where FTP just refuses to connect,
and when I have it has always been a matter of a firewall or remote server
configuration. I would not classify it as broken at all, it is more likely
an environmental issue.

Dig into how your FTP server works and make sure you know what it needs
(PASV or ACTIVE). A pcap should show you what control ports and if the
server is a PASV server your sipx server will try to ftp but if you are
blocking the PASV port range, it will stop.

Either get a pcap or use the linux cli to do a manual ftp session from sipx
to your server to see what's up with that. I think it's fair that if it is
your FTP server you really ought to look at it from your end.

To verify this I just did a FTP backup successful from behind my firewall
to my FT server in California. I am on 4.4 latest stable.
