CheckPoint 1490 Appliance FTP backup settings

[gtatarella]

Hi. I've searched and tried a lot of posts and guides about the working setting for FTP backup settings for the CheckPoint 1490 Appliance.

I've read I must use and FTP account on port 21 and this is fine but I am not be able at the moment to set the correct path and the correct username. I've used the IP server and the path (without the finale /).

This is my configuration at the moment. Suggestions? Thanks a lot. Best regards to all.

To my knowledge the backup server path is simply <ip_address>/path/  as FTP is assumed here per sk110677.

Which firmware version/build is the 1400 running and what FTP server software is used?

Hi. The The firmware version is R77.20.80 (990172392). I'm using a simple fileserver on which is configured a local user with FTP rights on IIS. I already use this method to backup other devices.

R77.20.80 is out of support and you should consider upgrading to R77.20.87 taking into consideration that interim steps may be required.

Remove the ftp:// from path and it should work !
