Remote transfer method (FTP) not working, SCP works fine

[Markas]

Hello,

I have 2 servers, same DA, same configuration. First one call "ZEUS", second "HERA". I have one backup NAS, both connected to same NAS, same FTP/SCP account. I want to make backup to NAS so on ZEUS works fine both "Remote transfer method" methods (FTP and SCP), but on HERA works only SCP.

When i try to make FTP backup on HERA server I have:

Performing sanity checks: Completed
Checking load average: Completed
Checking free disk space: Completed
Performing Custom backup
Archiving /etc/exim.conf: Completed
Performing cleanup operations: Completed

"PureFTP" log is empty, where is transfer information? Should be in log "Transferring..". I changed "Remote transfer method" to SCP and everything is fine.

Where can be issue? Why FTP method not working and can't see transferring information?

I check NAS log, HERA not try to connect over FTP. On HERA over console ftp command is working. Any idea what more to check?

Found issue, not installed /usr/bin/ncftpput:

# Found status log file where and who create backup:
517 2022-01-20 13:36:29 - locate status.log
518 2022-01-20 13:36:33 - vi /usr/local/sysbk/status.log

# Found config of sysbk:

520 2022-01-20 13:36:58 - vi /usr/local/sysbk/conf.sysbk

# Found for FTP case need ncftpput:
521 2022-01-20 13:37:16 - /usr/bin/ncftpput

# Removed FTP from block list:
525 2022-01-20 13:39:51 - vi /etc/yum.conf

# Installed ncftp and solved problem:
526 2022-01-20 13:40:07 - yum install ncftp
527 2022-01-20 13:40:18 - /usr/bin/ncftpput

Maybe helps for others.

Thank you.
I wanted to say that, but I thought ncftpput wasn't used anymore in favor of curl. So it seems I've been mistaken.
Good to know this. Thank you for sharing.
