Backup SSH destination
Remote SSH host, port, username, and absolute remote path for backup runs.
Backup SSH destination
Remote SSH server that receives backup files.
Where to find it
Admin → Backup → Remote SSH destination
| Field | Key | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SSH host | backup_ssh_host |
Hostname or IP only (no ssh://, no user@, no path) |
| SSH port | backup_ssh_port |
Empty = 22 |
| SSH username | backup_ssh_user |
Required for schedule/run |
| Remote backup path | backup_ssh_path |
Absolute path, e.g. /home/backup/xfileultra |
Use Test connection with the values on screen, then Save so scheduled jobs use them.
On production, the host must resolve to a public IPv4 (private/reserved addresses are blocked).
Common problems
Host field includes username or path
Paste only the hostname/IP. Put user and path in their own fields.
Permission denied on remote path
Remote user cannot write that directory - fix ownership on the backup server.
