Setting the Backup Path to NAS via FTP When Running Kerio Connect on Linux

Overview

This article provides the process to set up the backup path to NAS (Network Attached Storage) when Kerio Connect is running on Linux.
 

Prerequisite

Access to Kerio Connect server
 

Process

1. Install the curlftpfs package from the sources.
   
   Please note that the Curlftpfs should be on 0.9.1 version, as the more recent 0.9.2 version is not compatible with Kerio Connect. For more information on the installation process, please refer to the Curlftpfs 0.9.1 Installation Guide.
2. Create a mounting point by using the mkdir command. Here is an example for the command:
      
   

   mkdir /mnt/my_ftp

    
   
    
3. Run the curlftpfs command with your credentials to mount your remote FTP site.
   
   Find below sample access credentials and the mount command that correspond to them.  
   • Username: ftp-user
   • Password: ftp-pass
   • Host/IP: my-ftp-location.local
      
     

     curlftpfs ftp-user:ftp-pass@my-ftp-location.local /mnt/my_ftp/

4. Wait for the mounting point to complete the process.
