Me: Trying to set up Total Upkeep (free version) so that it will store the backups in a specified directory on my local device (iMac) but can’t find any settings that will allow me to do this. Your advertising suggests that this technique is possible. Any hep would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Your answer: Hi Tod, thank you for your question!
If you want to use your local machine as a backup storage location then you will need to set your computer up to function as an FTP server. I found this guide that shows how to do that on a Mac. Once you get the FTP configuration finished you should be able to supply the credentials using the FTP option in the Backup Storage settings.
I hope this helps you work with your backups as desired and please let us know if there is anything else that we can do to assist you.

Me, sent as a reply to your email answer above: Thanks for the tip. That info at the link you provided is out of date so I looked in the Mac App Store and found an FTP server app. I configured it (see screenshot) and went to the plugin on both Mac and my ipad, and entered credentials. See more screenshots. Each time I entered the credentials, they disappeared even though I clicked the “save” button. The option isn’t highlighted.
Any further advice?
Hi Tod, sory to hear that there are still some problems getting your computer working as a viable FTP storage location.
One thing that might be affecting the usability of that is the FTP Host setting. The FTP Host needs to be a publicly accessible domain or IP address since the web server that hosts you website is not in your local network. I would try using your device’s IP address for the host field to see if that helps you get your computer established as a viable storage location.
Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do to assist you, we are always happy to help!
