My Ftp server port should be 2121 and Akeeba Solo says that I cannot connect to 111.222.333.444:21 which is correct. How can I connect to 2121 (or 2122) as I wrote in the application configuration?

If you are not using the standard port 21, you need to enter the port on the FTP setup page where you specified the url and login credentials.

This is exactly what I did. See attached picture.
I can choose 2121 or 2122, the answer from Akeeba Solo is the same ;-(

Somehow I didn't think it was going to be that easy. :-)

I need to check with Nicholas about this problem in the morning. I'll let you know what I find out.

I assume you mean when configuring the "Upload to Remote FTP Server" feature in Solo's Configuration page. What doesn't work is the Browse button for the "Initial directory" setting when you are using a non-default port. You can still specify the directory manually. When you do that the "Test FTP connection" reports the connection successful and the upload works.

Ok ... I just stop configuring the application. And keep going on. Now, backup works! ;-)
Trying to restore on a local server is another problem. I am going to read the documentation before reporting.
