Dear sir,
i am trying to get a CCM5 backup using sftp. when i select network directory option and define sftp server ip address and path with remote user id and password . it gives me error invalid server name.
but when i try to access my SFTP server with sftp client filezilla client it works fine and show me my backup directory called D:/VM.
i have aatched screen shots of CCM and my SFTP client.
also i have checked with my SFTp server name instead of ip address. but same problem.i am unable to save storage location page in CCM.
kindly resolve this, i will be really very thankful.
Solved! Go to Solution.

hey thanks Deji!!
yeah, i also like and recommend FreeFTPD, really easy to configure and works like a charm for backing up the system.
i tried many more but this one is the easiest one to configure so it's hard to mess up while setting things.
that doc saved me a lot of headaches with customers having issues doing the backup, to the day still i haven't heard of someone telling me that after following the doc they could not backup the system (and they still use it a lot at TAC haha, i should charge per usage ;-) )

The . refers to the root directory of the SFTP server...

now it's not optional so save it or not, it will save along with CUCM so don't worry about that.
and as Deji explained, the . means local directory. so in this case . = root directory of TFTP you configured. if you had created another sub-directory then it would be .\dirname and so on.
