3cx FTP back-up to IIS ftp server

[Helpdesk Avelco]

Hello,

We have a FTP server which we want to use for 3cx FTP back-ups. Unfortunately 3cx is not able to connect to this FTP server, but winscp or filezilla connect without any issues.

I cannot find any documentation how to configure an IIS FTP server for 3cx..

There is no document because 3CX isn't going to do a write up on how to connect to every FTP server out there. If you search the forums there are people who have been able to connect to IIS but had timeout issues for large backups so apparently it does work.

Backing up to FTP across the internet isnt exactly reliable or secure, but i have been working on a remedy for this, you might have a look here:
