Î can't get sbackup (version 0.10) to backup to a remote ftp server. The test goes fine (asks for the password and flashes the green light) but when I asks for a manual backup, I get :
E: Target directory is not writable - please test in simple-config-gnome!
Is there a simple-config-gnome utility ?
I must add that copying to and from the ftp site works perfectly within nautilus : gnome-vfs is working.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for spotting this problem. You nedd to include the password inside the URL. SBackp can not use the password that is entered in the Gnome pop-up password dialog. That is: this password entry will work for the test, but the real backup process has no way of getting to that password afterwards.

I tried what you suggested with the address
ftp://login:passwd@site/dir. I still get error messages
Traceback (most recent call last):

do_backup_finish()
File "/usr/sbin/sbackupd", line 267, in do_backup_finish
tardst = gnomevfs.create( turi, 2 )
gnomevfs.LoginFailedError: Login failed
But the login process have gone through since some dirs are created on the ftp site, named
2006-09-29_18.06.53.979477.highplainsdrifter.ful.
but they don't contain any of the files I want to backup, only excludes/packages/ver.
