Have you created the filestore under openerp folder? Have you given acces to dbuser?

to configure ftp server go :

settings-->Configuration Wizards choose FTP Server Configuration

Indicate the network address on which your OpenERP server should be reachable for end-users. This depends on your network topology and configuration, and will only affect the links displayed to the users. The format is HOST:PORT and the default host (localhost) is only suitable for access from the server machine itself..(localhost:8021)

in knowledge menu proposed default ftp address. If you have problems connecting, then it may be a problem with the connection string.

default is:  ftp://admin@<your IP address>:8021/<your database name>
i e. ftp://admin@localhost:8021/my_company

try connecting using the string without the user name i.e.:

ftp://<your IP address>:8021/<your database name>
i e. ftp://localhost:8021/my_company

A pop-up will then appear for you to enter a user name and password. Ensure it's also an actual OpenERP user that exists in the database you are trying to connect to.

Please note that this solution may only work if you have at least one user logged into the database that you are trying to connect to.

connect to admin/admin in your database demo and in your browser ftp://admin@localhost:8021/demo . try to connect with another web browser .try to connect with a ftp client FileZilla for example and return to me. it should work.if it does not work you should check how you configured the server

Is there a solution for odoo 10? I'm using database auto-backup module to backup my database in another server. But this module is written for SFTP protocole, and I need to use FTP protocole
