Problem:

I try to add remote backup destination (sftp). Every try to save it ends with “wrong password”

If you add a new backup destination and choose SFTP you can enter :smile:

Name
IP Address
Username
Password
Port
Path

Unfortunally every try I did ends with “wrong password”.

After study logfiles on server and destination-server, I figured out, that the entered username is completely ignored!

Backup tries ever with username “root” and ignores the entered username.

Entered a root account to the same server in the Backup destination dialog works.

This is a big bug! Most professional backup destinations are only usable with a username. You never ever get the “root” account.

So please: Fix it!

Thanks,
Kai

Any fix for this?? I have the same problem,
