As after short time the input/UPLOAD folder gets filled with plenty of files :) , I would like to backup these originals in a separate folder on my PC. Of course, I do know that I will double the storage space on my harddrive, but as this is a special selection out of lots of lots of digital files, I want to keep it this way.

When I try to download the files via ftp I get the message "Permission denied, transfer failed". Any idea what I am doing wrong? :roll:

This happens befause your ftp server saves data on permissions which are not allowed for ftp user from ftp account. This may sound strange, but php uses ftp through web server account and you use from your ftp account. You can try changing file owner (chown command I believe).

Hi Pekka,
I have tried your advice but it seems not to work. I still couldn't get one file downloaded. Is there no other chance to do so?
