issue sending backup to ftp server

Hi,

I'm trying to schedule a full-config backup, from a 40F to a ftp server visible on vpn s2s.

 

using this command:

execute backup full-config ftp '/xxx/FGT_%%date%%.txt' 10.3.64.113 user pwd

 

I receive this output:

"Send config file to ftp server via vdom root failed."

 

ping from fgt to the server not working, so I did a packet capture for destination ip 10.3.64.113 and I found that the Fortigate use, by default, the wan interface, but in this case that port is disabled and I'm using A port as a Wan port.

 

what can i do to route the backup procedure correctly via vpn s2s using the correct tunnel-interface?

Hi @birillo ,

 

How does your routing table look like?  Do you have a routing entry for 10.3.64.113 pointing to the IPSec VPN tunnel?  If the VPN is interface based, do you have IP address assigned to it?

 

So for further troubleshooting, better to provide the FGT config and routing table outputs and the name of the IPSec VPN if you have multiple VPNs.

 

 

Regards,

Jerry
