Hi, First of all thanks a lot Kevin for your review. I would like to share on the list some comments and explanations regarding the implementation of this feature, based on your comments:
1) - When backup is performed it is uploaded on the ftp server on the location that is exposed by the supplied ftp username/password. Depending on what username/password is provided by accessing the Backup/Restore Ftp Configuration page the backups will be uploaded in that location. For instance the administrator can configure the FTP server with how many user he wants - each user having therefore a coresponding uploading location The location that is specified in the sipxconfig.properties - ftpBackup - is used in the ftp backup process like this: First the files are temporary saved on local sistem in the ftpBackup directory (located in the same path as the "backup" directory -> /usr/local/sipx/var/sipxdata) and then are uploaded on the ftp server in the location exposed by the username/password provided in the FTP Backup/Restore Configuration page When the user issues another ftp backup operation the previous temporary savings are deleted So my opinion is that in fact the sipXconfig should not be aware of the remote ftp path where the backup is uploaded - this path is automatically exposed with the FTP connection, depending on the username/password supplied. So the administrator should configure the FTP server itself with what users he wants - with what paths he desires. In this way the Backup/Restore is easy to handle - we can have one ftp server with many users and therefore many remote ftp upload paths. We can pick any path we want just by providing the coresponding username/password 2) The links that appear on the page after the ftp backup is completed exposes the temporary backups located on local system (in the ftpBackup directory described above) - so the user to immediately download them if he wants. Of course the user will find them also uploaded in the specified ftp server in the remote location defined by the provided username/password Fell free to add any comments/suggestions.
