ncftpput return code: 3

[ajax20]

Hi

I'm trying to backup my "admin" user account in Admin Backup/Transfer. However, the backup process interrupts before after about 70 mb of the backup file are transmited to my backup server. The error I get is as follows:

Lost data connection to remote host after 70320128 bytes had been sent: Broken pipe.
ncftpput /home/tmp/admin/admin.root.admin.tar.gz: socket write error.
ncftpput return code: 3

Apparently, there is no qouta limit on the ftp server account.

Does anyone know how I can cope with this problem?

Thanks

Check the logs on the ftp server itself, to see if it has any information about the connection issue.
My first guess to look for might be an idle timeout.. which may be an ftp setting.

You can also test the ftp upload manually... although that may just give you the same error anyway:
