BLUE IRIS FTP NEST A NEW FOLDER EACH TIME IT UPLOADS A FILE

[jgruenewald]

Hello all,

I have enabled Blue Iris FTP backup and the files are uploading but I have to go find the file because Blue Iris seems to be creating new folders each time.

My home directory is set to /share/SITE-NAME/ in the FTP Server screen and "Test" drops the sample file into the site folder correctly every time.

Within "Clip Backup" I have tried leaving "Folder" both blank and filling it with the path of "/share/SITE NAME/

and then I get this in my directory path...

"L:\elite self storage\share\elite self storage\elite self storage\elite self storage"

This is on Blue Iris 5 and I am running the latest stable version.

I already drink enough as it is so any help on this would greatly be appreciated.
