Controller Backup to FTP; cannot use Hostname

2022-05-04 15:42:20 - last edited 2022-05-31 09:18:02

Model: OC200

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 5.1.7

In the latest Hardware Controller firmware 5.1.7, there's a new option to backup to an FTP server. See screenshot.
Well, there seems to be a bug in the interface. When specifying a server, it clearly states "Server Hostname/IP:" However, the text field only allows IP address input. There's no way to add a hostname.

I will start using this feature immediately if I could use a hostname (which resolves through Cloudflare, so the IP is not always the same).

Thank you for your valuable feedback!

It's confirmed that the subsequent Controller v5.4 will add the configuration for Server Hostname. So stay tuned for updates.
