Direct Connection. To simplify entering and tuning all Dropbox FTP settings, Handy Backup uses plug-ins for both data storage media, allowing direct connection between FTP and Dropbox folders.
Task Automation. With Handy Backup, a user can schedule automatic tasks for saving FTP to Dropbox. A scheduling engine allows starting these tasks by time with a selected interval.
Convenient Controlling. If you want to upload to Dropbox via FTP, you can just make a new task by using the New Task Wizard with simple and advanced modes, as well as control a task via intuitive GUI.
Moving copies of FTP files to Dropbox via Handy Backup is simple: a task will copy files from an FTP server and move these data directly to Dropbox account. This method uses no third-party software such as Dropbox Agent – only the FTP server as the data source, and Dropbox account as the destination.
To create a task backing up FTP to Dropbox account, please follow the action sequence listed below:
Following this sequence, you will create an effective Dropbox backup task using FTP as the data source. Each time the task will start manually or by scheduling, it will make Dropbox-FTP download without any need for further interference by user.
Note: You can use a protected FTP server connection (SFTP or FTPS) instead of FTP by selecting an appropriate plug-in. These plug-ins have slightly different configuration dialogs than a plain FTP. In all other cases, all things are just the same as for FTP to Dropbox backup!
It is no difficulty to copy any file to Dropbox folder, although it may be a tricky process to grab this file from FTP. Specialized client software, like FileZilla, or a browser-level FTP access, must be implemented to take some FTP files or folders without automation.
Performing FTP to Dropbox backup actions manually or by script is principally possible, but saves up to no efforts when compared with automatic actions, and have much more risks of human failures or operational insecurity.
