SleekView for FTP WP Export: scheduled exports & uploads as tables
FTP WP Export writes schedule and upload state to wp_options and per-job log records. SleekView turns that footprint into a filterable workspace with schedule, target host, file size, and upload outcome as columns.

Off-site backups as an audit table
FTP WP Export sits at the off-site-backup end of the migration stack: it bundles WordPress data into an archive on a schedule and pushes the result to a configured FTP or SFTP destination. Schedule and credential state live in wp_options under ftp-export-prefixed keys, and per-export upload state is written to a log table or option-row series capturing started timestamp, file size, target host, and transfer outcome.
The plugin's UI lists recent exports with green or red dots per upload, which works for the latest few jobs. Across months or multiple FTP destinations the visibility tapers off, especially for the silent-failure case where the archive bundled successfully but the upload to the off-site host never landed.
SleekView reads the export schedule and upload log as a workspace. Each scheduled export becomes a sortable row with target host, file size, upload duration, and outcome. A filter for completed but not delivered surfaces the cohort where the local archive bundled fine but the off-site upload silently failed. Off-site backup audits stop relying on the operator remembering to check the FTP destination by hand.
Workflow
Audit every FTP export from one workspace
Map ftp_export_ option keys
wp_options filtered to ftp-export-prefixed rows plus the plugin's upload log. The agent samples columns and proposes schedule + upload joins.
Compose outcome-aware columns
Save role-scoped presets
Trigger retries inline

Comparison
Default FTP WP Export admin vs SleekView
Default FTP WP Export admin
- Recent-exports screen lists a few jobs without cross-month history
- No filter for archives that bundled locally but never uploaded
- File size and upload duration aren't sortable columns anywhere
- Target-host outages don't cluster as a single chip across affected runs
- Bulk-retry of failed uploads goes one job at a time
SleekView

Read
ftp_export_option keys as a sortable schedule inventory - Surface file size, duration, and upload outcome as columns
- Filter to bundled-but-not-uploaded for silent-failure triage
- Group by target host to surface destination-side outages
- Inline-retry failed uploads from row actions with capability gating
Features
What SleekView gives you for FTP WP Export
Export schedule inventory
Every scheduled export across every target host surfaces as one sortable row. Daily, weekly, and monthly cadences compare side by side rather than living in separate screens.
Silent-failure filter
Filter to archives that bundled locally but never reached the FTP destination. The cohort where backup state and operator expectation diverge becomes a chip.
Host-outage clustering
Group by target host to surface destination-side outages. A specific FTP server going read-only no longer hides behind per-job error messages.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for FTP WP Export
Backup operators
Verify every scheduled off-site export actually reached its destination. One filtered view replaces logging into the FTP host to check timestamps.
Disaster-recovery teams
Pre-restore audit: confirm the canonical archive for a target date is present on the off-site host and matches the expected size. Avoids restore attempts on truncated files.
Infra leads
Track FTP-destination reliability across months. Filter to target hosts with recent partial or failed uploads to plan a credential rotation or destination swap.
The bigger picture
Why off-site backups need an audit table
FTP WP Export is exactly the kind of tool that operates quietly when everything works and becomes the most important thing on the site the moment a restore is needed. Daily backups bundle, get uploaded to an off-site FTP target, and disappear from operator attention. The silent-failure case is the one that bites: the local archive bundles fine, the upload step times out or hits a credential issue, the plugin's UI dot reads green for the bundle, and the off-site destination quietly stops receiving fresh archives.
By the time a real restore is attempted the off-site copy is weeks stale. Reading the schedule and upload-log option rows as a workspace turns that silent failure into a chip filter. Backup operators see at a glance which scheduled exports actually reached their destination this week.
Disaster-recovery teams audit the canonical archive for a target date before attempting restore. Infra leads cluster failures by target host to spot a server going read-only. That visibility is what off-site backup is supposed to provide and rarely does.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for FTP WP Export
FTP WP Export writes schedule state to wp_options under ftp-export-prefixed keys and upload outcome to a log structure (option rows or a custom table depending on plugin version). SleekView reads both directly.
Yes. The plugin abstracts transport, so the audit view treats FTP, SFTP, and FTPS uploads identically with the protocol surfaced as a column for filtering.
Credentials are stored by the plugin in its own option keys. SleekView treats those keys as capability-gated columns, so support and ops roles see target host without the credential payload exposed.
Yes, where the plugin exposes a retry hook. The row action is capability-gated and goes through the plugin's own upload flow, so any pre-upload or post-upload hooks fire identically to a manual retry.
Yes. The bundle step and the upload step are tracked separately in the log, so a successful bundle with a failed upload appears as a distinct row state. Filter to bundle-ok-but-upload-failed for the silent-failure cohort.
Yes. File size is a sortable column. Plot the size of successive daily backups and a sudden drop or jump signals either data loss or unexpected media growth, both worth investigating before the next restore.
Yes. Even sites running daily backups for years stay within SleekView's pagination range. The export-log option-key set remains compact, and the join to schedule rows uses the schedule-id index.
Yes. Backup operators see outcome chips and sizes. Infra leads see target hosts and protocol. Admins see credential paths under capability gating. Each role saves filtered presets from the same source data.
