Enabling SSH access on Readynas Ultra 2
Hi, I've got two old Readynas ultra 2's which I am replacing with 2 new Synology DS224's mainly due to age and the declining support. In order to migrate the data I want to run some Rsynch routin...
Note I instructed you to log in as root with the NAS admin password.

Are you running 4.2.x firmware? Or did you convert the systems to OS 6?
If you are running 4.2.x, then you need to install this add-on:
Then log into the NAS as root, using the NAS admin password. If you are using the default password - netgear1 - you will need to change it.

This sounds like it could be a missing setting on the synology. Though it could possibly be a wrong destination path in the ReadyNAS backup job.
Do make sure you've set rsync access to read/write and that the Synology is included in the allowed hosts, if you've used that option.
Hi,
I've checked the Rsynch config on the Synology, edited the Rsynch account and then checked the share destination settings so that the Rsynch account has full read write access to it. I can't see any other settings or permissions here.
When I create the back up job on the Readynas, using the Synology share above as the destination and specifying the server by IP address and the Rsynch account and password, I can't get the "test connection" to work says it always fails.
not getting any other useful information. both on the same network, can see each other. I'm at a loss for next step
thanks

Have you tried running the job anyway? It's been a while since I used 4.2.x firmware, but my recollection is that sometimes test connection failed but the backup job still worked.
FWIW, another option is to use SMB.
ok, downloaded the add as instructed, installed it restarted the readynas, checked the logs which tell me that SSH root access has been enabled with the same password as my admin account.
From the same pc which I've logged into the management page I then try an SSH connection. It initially warns me about the lack of keys and gives option to continue, it then permanently adds the IP address to the list of known hosts.
I try and login it requests the password I enter it then it appears to open the connection I can see the name of the server and the ip address of the pc I,m trying to access it from. but then it closes the connection.
heres the screenshot.
I've not idea why and further help appreciated
thanks

Ahaaaa yes I didn't read it properly sorry. Obviously I couldn't see the wood for the trees.

Thanks so much ... right now to try and get the Rsynch working ... I might be back 🙂
