Add FTP,SFTP and FTPS support for freezer

Provide FTPS, FTP, SFTP options for users to store backup data.

Problem description

Currently, freezer can only support local, ssh(support ssh_key_path), swift, s3

as backup data storage, so we should increase support for FTP, FTPS(support password).

Use Cases

  • Users that want to backup data to FTP, FTPS, SFTP server.

Proposed change

Implement in the freezer new storages.

With specifying the storage as FTP, FTPS or SFTP, the backup data will be stored on FTP, FTPS or SFTP server.

For all these new added storage type, no Database models changes will happen. As matter of fact, we use python FTP class to implement details of FTP Client-server communication and authentication.

For FTP storage, we will use class ftplib.FTP. The class of ftplib.FTP_TLS will be used to implement FTPS storage. And for SFTP storage, the python module paramiko is a suitable choice.

Other end user impact

  • Add these parammeters as follows in freezer-agent:: ftp_host ftp_username ftp_password ftp_port
  • usecase in freezer-agent using ftp as storage::

    sudo freezer-agent --path-to-backup /data/dir/to/backup --container /remote-machine-path/ --backup-name my-backup-name --storage ftp --ftp-username ftpuser --ftp-password passwd_test --ftp-host 8.8.8.8 --ftp-port 82

  • usecase in freezer-agent using ftps as storage::

    sudo freezer-agent --path-to-backup /data/dir/to/backup --container /remote-machine-path/ --backup-name my-backup-name --storage ftps --ftp-username ftpuser --ftp-password passwd_test --ftp-host 8.8.8.8 --ftp-port 82

  • usecase in freezer-agent using sftp as storage::

    sudo freezer-agent --path-to-backup /data/dir/to/backup --container /remote-machine-path/ --backup-name my-backup-name --storage sftp --ftp-username ftpuser --ftp-password passwd_test --ftp-host 8.8.8.8 --ftp-port 82
