Connection refused - rsync from BackupAssist
Hi,
I have purchased a ReadyNAS Pro 2 (RNDP2000) fw RAIDiator 4.2.23
It has been set up with a rsync share, rsync access is enabled and I entered an rsync user with password.
BackupAssist has three rsync modes:
Rsync over SSH
Rsync Daemon
Rsync Daemon over SSH tunnel
Everything works fine in Rsync Daemon mode, when I test the connection everything connects and there are green lights everywhere.
However I would like to use one of the SSH modes. When I test these, I get a 'Connection refused' error.
Do I need to use a third party certificate? Please point me in the right direction (and to a step-by-step guide for this Netgear model :-)
Thanks for helping me out

- Hi and thanks for the reply.
I read the article you mention before I posted, but as I understand it, the two described scenarios are both 'controlled' by the ReadyNAS box.
In my case the backup process is controlled by the BackupAssist application (from a windows server), and the ReadyNAS box is just supposed to accept the connection, provide the rsync service and receive the files.
So I need ReadyNAS to act as a server which only accepts rsync connections from other (BackupAssist) hosts. In BackupAssist I can enter a username / password to access the rsync server. Should it be possible to connect using this user credentials when I connect, or do I need a key file? If the latter is the case, I assume that it should be created at the BackupAssist server?
Thanks for comments on this
regards Tor - Yes get a key created by your software and add it to the NAS.
Are your server and NAS at two different sites (will you be backing up over the Internet between them?).
