Mount FTP

Hey there

I was wondering if it's possible to mount a remote FTP site on the DNS323?  I want to then use this to perform remote backups using the rsync script or something like that.

Cheers :-)

Re: Mount FTP

Or, another idea would be to mount to WebDav....again, is this possible?

Re: Mount FTP

You don't need to have any mounted volume for rsync. Running the rsync daemon on the server is enough.

Re: Mount FTP

Sorry, I want to backup my DNS323 (source) to an external site, and rsync doesn't support FTP - so, this is why I thought I would have to mount something.

Could you explain a bit more about this?

Thanks

Re: Mount FTP

I figured it out :-)

In the end, I found LFTP, which does exactly what I need.  I can now sync my DNS 323 with some external storage, using FTP.

I am using the following command line:

lftp -u 'USERNAME,PASSWORD' ftp.EXTERNAL-STORAGE.com -e "set ftp:ssl-protect-data true;mirror --reverse --delete /mnt/HD_a2/StuffToSync /Backup;exit"

And, I have to say, it works like a charm!  Now I just need to wait for my 35Gb of photos to upload :-|
