RHEL 6.6 backup to windows FTP Question

Latest response

I am needing to backup my RHEL to a windows 2012 FTP server. Does anyone have any documentation on how to do this? I will only be backing up a small portion of a database. roughly 4 GB. Has anyone done this before?

Hi,

I don't think there is any particular difference in using a Linux or Windows FTP server. Just use your favorite FTP client and set up the connection.

//Zdenek

You can use the following command to upload your file(s) to the FTP server:

$ ftp -n -v ftp.example.com << EOF
user my_user_name my_password
prompt
binary
cd destination_folder
put file.bak
bye
EOF

As Zdenek already mentioned, there is no difference on which platform the FTP is installed.
