ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition User Guide

Rsync

If you specified a user or password in the rsync share access tab, you will need to specify this when accessing the rsync share. Unlike other protocols, rsync uses arbitrary user name and password that is specific only for rsync access. The user account you specify does not need to exist on the ReadyNAS.

Figure 3-22

Here is an example of a way for a Linux client to list the content of a ReadyNAS rsync share with no user name and password defined:

# rsync <ipaddr>::backup

To recursively copy the content of a share to /tmp:

# rsync -a <ipaddr>::backup /tmp

To do the same except with a login user and password hello, enter:

#rsync -a user@<ipaddr>::backup /tmp Password: *****

Note: The ReadyNAS does not support Rsync over SSH.
