Hi,  
I am new to Storj and currently have a directadmin reseller account and for my own backups i use the backup function that i can send a back of all account using ftp to another location. I am using a backup account which comes with ftp but i would prefer if i could ftp my backups directly directly to my  
Storj storage using FTP

Can this be done? and if it can can i be guided in how to do this.  
Much appreciated  
Johan

Yes, it cloud be done, however I remember to figure it by my own as this doesn’t look the usual usage. Surely you can contact to support for that.

You can run a [FTP server on a S3 mount](https://forum.storj.io/t/has-storj-ever-looked-into-the-cctv-market/5578/16). That will give you the functionality you’re looking for: but not something Storj-the-company provides directly.

An alternative is to use [rclone serve ftp](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_ftp/)
