vCenter backup fails

Hello, trying to take a simple vCenter backup to an HTTP location via the HFS tool but it's giving me the error below. Port 80 on the ESXi firewall is checked and the vCenter has no firewall. Anyone else run into this?

ESXi host firewall that vCenter is on is accepting 80 and 443.

I get a different error based on whether or not I use the root / or the folder path. The folder has everyone full control and the ficticious user account and permissions are set to root/password from HFS.

Hi,

It looks like a permissions problem on folder destination ... try to double check the permissions \ firewall on the destination
