Setting Up an Nsync Target on an Nsync Device

On the Nsync target server, the administrator of that server has to set up a user account with a folder named “nsync” and grant write access.

1.On the Nsync server, add a user for Nsync source (ex. nsyncsource1). For instructions on how to add a user on the N8800, see Chapter 4: System

Management > User and Groups Management > Local User Configuration > Adding Users.

2.On the Nsync server, grant that user (ex. nsyncsource1) write access to the nsync folder. For instructions on how to set up a folder’s ACL, see

Chapter 4: System Management > Folder Management > Folder Access Control List (ACL).

3.Once this is done, the target server will start accepting Nsync tasks from server using that ID and password.

Setting Up an Nsync Target on Another Device

If you selected “Other Device” when setting up your Nsync task, the N8800 will use the FTP protocol to back up the share folder. On the external storage device, make sure there is a folder named “nsync”, and the Auth ID has writable permission in that folder.
