If this is your first time making a backup of oscommerce, you need to setup an FTP account that you will use to backup the files on the server. To create a new FTP account select "No, I want to set up a FTP/SFTP/FTPS account now." If you already have an account select "Yes, I already set up a FTP/SFTP/FTPS account" and choose the account created to connect to your oscommerce installation. If you do not want to backup the files, only the records in the database select the option "Skip FTP/SFTP/FTPS backup" and move to Sql backup. |

If you already have an FTP/SFTP/FTPS account created and you wish to use that one proceed to the next step. Fill in the field "Caption" with a meaningful name for your FTP, to easily identify this account. Select the type of account you will use to connect to the server: FTP, SFTP, FTPS (implicit and explicit). In the field "Host" fill the server name or IP address. If the server accepts FTP/SFTP/FTPSP connections on a different port than the default uncheck "Use default port" and enter the port used in the field "Port".

SiteVaultPro can copy files using a PHP gateway. This method increases the speed of the file transfer considerably. SiteVault will upload the PHP gateway automatically. You have to specify the equivalence between the FTP path and HTTP path (for example, if your site is located in the /public_html folder, the FTP path will be "/public_html" and the HTTP path "http://www.your-site.com"). You can choose not to use the gateway by unchecking "Use HTTP gateway for FTP". |

Please check if they are correct and make sure to change them is needed. Click on the "Show scripts" to view the files that will be uploaded and will act as a gateway. Click on "Next" to upload these files on the server before moving to next step. |
