+
+## Example Configuration
+
+Below is an example `docker-compose.yml` configuration for backing up to an FTP remote server:
+
+```yaml
 services:
   mysql-bkup:
-    # In production, it is advised to lock your image tag to a proper
-    # release version instead of using `latest`.
-    # Check https://github.com/jkaninda/mysql-bkup/releases
-    # for a list of available releases.
+    # In production, lock your image tag to a specific release version
+    # instead of using `latest`. Check https://github.com/jkaninda/mysql-bkup/releases
+    # for available releases.
     image: jkaninda/mysql-bkup
     container_name: mysql-bkup
     command: backup --storage ftp -d database
     environment:
       - DB_PORT=3306
-      - DB_HOST=postgres
+      - DB_HOST=mysql
       - DB_NAME=database
       - DB_USERNAME=username
       - DB_PASSWORD=password
-      ## FTP config
+      ## FTP Configuration
       - FTP_HOST="hostname"
       - FTP_PORT=21
       - FTP_USER=user
       - FTP_PASSWORD=password
       - REMOTE_PATH=/home/jkaninda/backups
 
-    # pg-bkup container must be connected to the same network with your database
+    # Ensure the mysql-bkup container is connected to the same network as your database

+## Key Notes
+
+- **Security**: FTP transmits data, including passwords, in plaintext. For better security, consider using SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or FTPS (FTP Secure) if supported by your server.
+- **Remote Path**: Ensure the `REMOTE_PATH` directory exists on the FTP server and is writable by the specified `FTP_USER`.
