Hi everyone, new to Keepass. I was playing around with it yesterday trying to figure out how it works and found out about the auto backup to an FTP server trigger. I tried setting up this trigger by having the file backup on every successful save. Things seemed to be set up right, and when I'd save the DB it would activate the trigger, connect to my FTP server, but the Keepass would freeze after about 5 seconds, say "Not Responding", then after about a minute I'd get an error saying the connection has timed out. Anyone else have this issue or know what might be causing it? Thanks in advance!

It's also useful if you can access the FTP server and collect the connection logs.
cheers, Paul

Paul, thanks for the responses. Can you elaborate a little more about testing the FTP? What exactly is it you want me to try? I'm kind of new to the FTP server as well.

Upload a test database to the root folder on the FTP server.
In KeePass, File > Open > URL
If this works we can move to the next test.
Open the same test database from your PC, not FTP.
Change something and save.
File > Synchronize > URL
cheers, Paul

OK, after I uploaded the DB I tried opening from URL and that worked fine. Then I made a change (added a fake site and password) and synced, that worked as well. However, when I tried to re-open the newly synced DB from the server again to make sure that the changes actually saved the server timed out. But then I tried it again and the file opened, and it was in fact updated. So bottom line, what you asked me to do was done successfully!

You have proved the FTP works, although it may timeout. Now you can test it via a trigger.

OK, so I've tried the trigger again. Every time it runs I get the same timeout error. However, it is successfully syncing the file. This strikes me as strange. If it keeps timing out, can I really rely on it to be syncing the file every time?

I would test FTP before trying the trigger. Open URL and Sync to URL.
