Description

When configuring SFTP Backups for Rsync.net storage, I have to specify the Remote Server Path without a leading slash (/), to prevent targeting the file system root (keep the path relative to the user home folder).

However, backups are not working and the notifications suggest that CloudPanel is adding a leading slash to the path, which was not submitted in the settings form.

How to reproduce

Configure Remote Backup with SFTP
Enter "Remote Server Path" without a leading slash (for example: "test" or "test/"
Command is filled with remote path WITH a leading slash, which is not supported by rsync.net: "/test" or "/test/"

Possible Solution

No response
