Passive FTP can solve the problem that data connection from server to client is filtered by firewall, but some FTP software does not support this way. If you cannot connect directly, you can select the Connect using passive mode check box.

(2) Set up automatic backup cycle

After setting up the parameters of the website, we also set up the time of automatic backup, we can set up the cycle of the automatic backup according to the type of the website and the update of the data.

If it is an infrequently updated site, choose a monthly backup setting, and you can set a specific time for monthly updates in the software. If the data is more important site, you need to backup every day, software backup cycle is very convenient, you can choose any time for automatic backup.
