Description

Hello,

I'm using your Free version and it should be great to have a "test connection" button on the "to FTP" Tab to check if the connection is OK.
For the moment, I need to make a backup to see it failed :-(

Research direction

Start at the Free version's "to FTP" tab and trace how a backup currently attempts the connection. Add a test-connection action that reports whether the FTP connection succeeds or fails before a backup is made, then verify both outcomes in the plugin UI.
