I would like there to be a scheduled task that will Backup and FTP space files.  The reason for this is that the backups are useless on the local server, but if you create two separate scheduled tasks, the second one has the possibility of firing before the first one is finished.

The flow should look like

ZIP space Files to Space Root
FTP ZIP files to specified FTP server
Delete ZIP files in Space Root.

I had requested this before:

and response from DNP:

Hello,

You may consider to use Send Files via FTP scheduled task for these purposes.

 

Yes I realize, but the problem is timing the ZIP and the FTP... would be nice if they were combined into a single task.

 I agree.

 Can you please explain to me exactly how the "transfer files by FTP" scheduled task works? There's nothing in the Wiki about this
