[Duplicity-talk] FTP error

[Adam Dixon]

Hello,
I installed duplicity on fedora9 via yum, it is duplicity 0.4.11.

I need to get ftp:// backups working, however am having trouble,
duplicity CWD to the wrong place in the end (gets permission denied);
When attempting to run I get the following;

No signatures found, switching to full backup.
Running 'ncftpput -f /tmp/duplicity-w-iewx-tempdir/mkstemp-92kRDu-1 -F
-t 30 -m -V -C '/tmp/duplicity-w-iewx-tempdir/mktemp-_C4XE7-3'
'backup/t/duplicity-full.2008-07-08T10:03:22+09:30.vol1.difftar.gpg''
failed (attempt #1)
..... (repeats)...after 5 attempts

The debug log of a ncftp command looks like this;

...
Cmd: CLNT NcFTPPut 3.2.1 linux-x86_64-glibc2.7
500: CLNT not understood
Cmd: PWD
257: "/" is current directory.
Cmd: CWD backup/t
250: CWD command successful
Cmd: CWD /
550: /: Permission denied
Cmd: QUIT
221: Goodbye.


Why does it change to the target dir, then attempt to change to /

This is connecting to my lacie network storage which is ProFTPD 1.3.

Anyone know what this is? Am I doing something wrong?
I am running;
FTP_PASSWORD=blahblah duplicity /tmp/t ftp://address@hidden/backup/t
