I would recommend doing this (and all file changes, for that matter) through a real FTP client. Personally, I use CuteFTP, but there's many good ones out there.

Granted, I haven't gotten advanced with that system, but I'm pretty sure that's the way it works ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 The 'backup' function in the osCommerce 'admin' panel is manually operated - you have to click it to get it to perform a backup. There must be something else set in the web hosting control panel for automated backups to be continually activated. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickO Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 The 'backup' function in the osCommerce 'admin' panel is manually operated - you have to click it to get it to perform a backup. I tried to do a wget statement: wget --http-user=<userid> --http-passwd=<pwd> "https://www.<domain>.com/<path>/catalog/admin/backup.php?action=backup&download=yes", but it just gave me a saved file with a bunch of HTML in it. Anything you can click on, you *should* be able to do using wget and pass variables. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
