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.
I'm not familiar with Synology, but I wonder if it's not a case of properly specifying the share name. For example, on a ReadyNAS, you specify the backup share as just Backup in the GUI, not data/Backup, but from SSH, you have to specify data/Backup. Maybe the same, maybe different, on a Synology.
