5. Now select FTP.

6. Select the “Use FTP Storage” checkbox.

7. Specify the settings for the server you developed, just like the server’s hostname or IP address, the path to the backup directory, and therefore the FTP username and password.

8. Choose the “Use passive mode” checkbox if the Plesk firewall is configured to block incoming connections from FTP servers. Ensure that the server you set might handle passive FTP.
