Config Backup: Cannot set password

I'm trying to copy my cluster config backups to ftp.

I've been successful running the commands manually, but setting the schedule is failing when I try to set the password for the ftp user.

 

Node1::*> system configuration backup settings set-password password123                    (this is an example pw)

Error: "password123" was not expected. Specify -fieldname first.

 

-fieldname   is not a command parameter.

 

Node1::*> system configuration backup settings ?
clear-password        *Clear password for destination URL
modify                         *Modify configuration backup settings
set-password            *Modify password for destination URL
show                             *Show configuration backup settings

 

Node1::*> system configuration backup settings set-password ?
command is complete

 

What the heck is it asking?

Just give   :*> system configuration backup settings set-password [press enter]

It will prompt you to type password and confirm it.

Oh good grief! 

Naturally, I was making it harder than need be.
