Remot rsync setup: Error connecting to ...
Hi
I have a Raspberry Pi with a mounted USB HDD which I would like to act as a remote backup for my ReadyNas Ultra. I have an rsync daemon running on the RPi but no matter what I try I cannot get the readynas to connect in frontview.
These are my current settings:
Host: 192.168.0.170
Path: mnt/usb_hdd
Login: <user> Password: <p/word>
<no checkboxes checked beneath>
When I click 'Test connection' I get the error: 'Error connecting to 192.168.0.170'
For some time I thought I hadn't configured rsync correctly on the Pi, however if I ssh into my readynas I can successfully rsync with the following:
rsync -avh test pi@192.168.0.170:/mnt/usb_hdd
I do get an error 'Connection refused (111) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122)' if I use a double colon in the command (not sure what this is doing differently): rsync -avh *.sh pi@192.168.0.170::mnt/usb_hdd
any ideas?
thanks

- FYI I ended up abandoning the frontview setup and just had the remote backup mount my readynas shares and rsync those from a cron job

The double colon means to connect via rsync deamon. A single colon will use a remote shell. Thus, there seems to be no rsyncd running on your RPi. Or, there it listens to the wrong ip address or wrong port or the port is blocked by a firewall. You could use "netstat -tlpen" on the RPi to check whether there is a rsyncd listening on the local address 0.0.0.0:873.
