Configuring server

Before use you need to install and configure FTP (proftpd recomended) and TFTP (tftpd recomended) server. We DO NOT recomend to use vsftpd!

# installing proftpd server
sudo apt-get install proftpd
# enabling and starting proftpd server
sudo systemctl start proftpd
sudo systemctl enable proftpd

# installing tftp server
sudo apt install tftpd-hpa 
# enabling and starting proftpd server (variant 1)
sudo systemctl start tftpd
sudo systemctl enable tftpd
# I same case previous commands can be broken. Use next one
# enabling and starting proftpd server (variant 2)
sudo systemctl start tftpd-hpa
sudo systemctl enable tftpd-hpa

The root folder of both servers must be the same!

Next step set up backup server ip, login and password in Grusher settings.
