keep cannot create ftp-folder

[markusheinzer]

Binary package hint: keep

Under Ubuntu Edgy: when I try to backup something from a local folder to a remote ftp-folder, keep makes an error saying: "Fatal Error: Unable to create directory ftp:/<email address hidden>:21/doku" This error occurs either if the folder already exists or not. I did not forget a slash in the error message: there is only one slash after "ftp:"
The problem is not that I have no privilege to create directories. I tested this. The error message appears very quickly after starting the backup. So I think it does not ask the ftp-server anything.

Or smb-folder
I am getting the same problem (on dapper) trying to back up to a samba share. The error is "Fatal Error: Unable to create directory smb:/computername/sharename/subdir". All the same comments apply, including that there is only one '/' after ':' in the error message. I also checked permissions to create directories, etc. And Keep finds the remote directory correctly when editing the backup definition.

This also occurs to me on Kubuntu Edgy (KDE 3 flavour)

same with me under kubuntu and a Usb-Harddisc. Folder exists and is created by the same user how runs keep.

Can this be reproduced on Intrepid or Jaunty?
