F5 Auto Backup iApp Error 550 Filename Invalid on FTP

Trying the codeshare iApp here :https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/f5-iapp-automated-backup-1114

All works well but then dies at the end with the ftp stor command.

Tried some stuff with adding / etc to the path on filezilla but still nothing.

  • This is a twisted sneaky little thing slipped in by the devil himself.

    What is wants you to do is, keep the folder created but call the root of the folder and not the full path.

    So create folder

    ftpserver
    in let's say C drive but in filezilla only mention
    C:/
    . And it will send the filename with the
    /ftpserver
    itself.

  • Hi,

     

    your problem is the path (The filename is the problem), let me explain.

     

    The root directory is / The client must not send physical paths to the server...

     

    so your filename will be "20190409_bigip2.akmlab.local.ucs" and not "/ftpsrv/20190409_bigip2.akmlab.local.ucs".

     

    let me know if you need more details...

     

    regards
