Hello,

I want to store my backups on my vServer (external) running ProFTPd. Therefor I created a FTP-connection which doesn't work. I can connect to the server using FilaZilla (also in passive mode). I can also connect to another FTP-Server (Webhosting-Service) so I guess the problem is to be found in the configuration of my ProFTPd.
I was already searching the internet for solutions but without success.

If you need any further information I can of course give them.

Thank a lot

I got the solution for my problem and in the case somebody else might face this problem too I will post the solution here.
In the configuration file (Debian) "/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf" enable the passive ports since Acronis True Image 2014 uses them:

PassivePorts 50000 50030

and *NOT* having the following in your configuration file:

< IfModule mod_facts.c >
FactsAdvertise off
< /IfModule >

(just without the whitespaces, it wouldn't be displayed otherwise) So comment it out or delete it! It makes the server not sending the MLSD command (which is needed for Acronis True Image 2014).

I hope somebody might find it useful.
