It appears that the release version of Easy-Backup had some troubles 
with FTP.

For starters the package didn't install the required "lftp" RPM, which 
"duplictiy" then uses for the FTP transfer.

And under certain constellations the FTP port didn't get saved correctly 
in the config file after changes in the GUI.

A fixed Easy-Backup v1.0.8-3 has been released, which addresses these 
issues. Please be sure to have that installed and for good measure also 
check the storage settings in the GUI and for good measure: Save them again.

To test the connection you can run easy-backup with the --check switch 
like this:

[root at sol ~]# /usr/sausalito/sbin/easy-backup --check
