Hi Hauke,

The ftp server is vsftpd-3.0.3-3.fc25.x86_64 running on Fedora Core 25.

The Client is Windows 7 Professional, x64 full updated. And Cobian Backup 11

Everything is running on a local network. No Internet involved.

One of the backup sets on Cobian is writing to the FTP server. This is one of my methods of messing with the minds of Ransomware. (It is not my only one)

Even on it's better days, Cobian has a hassle and a half pruning old backup sets, be they to local drive or an FTP server. So, I write my own rotator wrappers to prune things. This program I am working on now, is to rotate the FTP backup sets from Cobian.

Cobian does not support those other fancy formats you mentioned.

As the "administrator". I have remote access to both machines. I set up the ftp server, rules and all. Makes it nice to see what is actually going on after a backup set goes off from Cobian

And, as I mentioned previously, I am able to use a Linux ftp client to delete file and directories starting with a dot.
