Remote FTP configuration in WHM




Inorder to configure the remote ftp backup of a particular user account in whm. We have to first login to the server, Where the ftp server is hosted :
cd /home
mkdir backup (making a folder for account backups)
mkdir /home/backup/vmuser1(making a folder for user account)
Create a ftp user in the server :
useradd ftp user
set passwd


Login to User WHM :

Main >> Backup >> Configure Backup


Set the remote ftp host with the IP address of ftp server
Back up type : remote ftp
Ftp Back up user : ftp user (created in ftp server )
Ftp Back up password : password

Save it.
Ready to go !!!!!

You can access the remote ftp account via : ftp://Ip address of ftp server

Test :

Please create a test file in the location (/home/backup/vmuser1 in ftp server)
If you see the file, When you access the link ftp://Ip (Ftp server).

It works !!!!!!!
