    Do you have shell access on your server?

    What OS are you using?

    If you are using Centos here are the steps

    login to your server and issue this commands

    Install FTP server
    
yum install vsftpd
    Code (markup):
    Turn on vsftpd ftp service
    
chkconfig vsftpd on
    Code (markup):
    Start vsftpd ftp server
    
service vsftpd start
    Code (markup):

    Do you want to back up data FROM server or TO server?

    If second way is correct then simply use aed040's method

    they offer two types of backup

    1. managed backup you have no control on it
    2. manual backup where they provide space which is accessible only through server


    Regards

    If you are trying to backup from your server to the ftp space they provide you, your server will not require an ftp server. You just need to ftp your backup files to their (already existing) ftp server.

    are you using any control panels? If you are using one, its simpler, if not its a bit long steps.

    IF you using a control panel. Generate a full backup of your website and move to your ftp server using the following command.
    Login to your shell using putty or any other ssh client.
    After login
    cd /path/to/your/backup
    ftp backup.server.hostname (enter the username and password when prompted)
    put backup_file_name
    quit (to logout from the remote server)

    If you are not using any control panel, you need make a dump of files and database and move the files to the remote server as explained above.

    For backup always prefer using R1CDP or rsync. Ftp is tedious method and not that feature rich as the others i have mentioned.
