I'm trying to setup my dad's mac to automatically backup once a week via ftp to my dns-323. I've tried using Bonkey as well as Parachute and neither one will work. Bonkey will create a folder in the volume)1 directory but fails to write any files to that folder. the error it gives is "failed to create directory". When I look at the properties of the volume_1 folder, or any other folder for that matter, on the mac it shows that the permissions are set to read only even though they are not. Any ideas how I can get this working?

What happens when you try to run ftp interactively?

Command terminal:
ftp Dlink-NAS
Log in
cd /Volume_1
mkdir testDir
cd testDir
binary
put LOCAL_FILE
quit

I haven't tried through telnet on the mac. One thing I did try is a simple ftp client on the mac. Rather than the automated backup synchronization software I downloaded a pure ftp client on the mac and was able to get it to write folders and files to the ftp server. I really want to be able to automate this for him though so he can have peace of mind about the data.

I dont know mac much but anyhow.

- Maybe you can find duplicity for mac. It is great.

- Lftp is a simple ftp client capable of sync local and remote dirs. Cronify it to make automatic.

- Setup ssh login via keypairs on your dns box, use rsync. Cronify it to make automatic.

i ended up using a program called aasync. Works flawlessly. Now if I could just get my dad to stop snapping so many pics with his canon 7d at 15mp a pop and actually delete some of his photos and stop taking up so much of my space!
