Rsync over SSH - cannot connect to remote
Hello! I am trying to push data from a local ReadyNAS 202 to a remote ReadyNAS 102 accross the internet using a backup job initiated on the local 202. I get "Unable to connect to host - 7077010...
I finally got this working!!
I had two problems with my setup:1) I was using the WAN IP of the ReadyNas - I should have been using the WAN of my Router! Doh....
2) I had to put /data in front of my Remote Path - eg /data/Documents/
As soon as I did both of these things everything works via the frontend. :)
Hope this helps someone...
I believe you need to forward port 22->22, not 873->22

Correct. Port 873 is for Rsync when not done over SSH.
For WAN backups using Rsync you should either use Rsync over SSH or Rsync over a VPN.
Thanks for the replies!
I have set port forwarding on the router that the 102 is sitting behind to 22-> 22 now - but still unable to connect, although I can connect remotely via PuTTY using a key pair as before.So the 102 is listening, I just can't get the 202 to connect to it over SSH.
Should I have a passphrase on the key combo? At the moment I do, so if I log into the 102 remotely via SSH I have to put in a password.
Do I need to define Hosts in my shares or something like this? Or some other user permissions?I have a very similar setup & problem to your's. Am able to do rsync backup, but not rsync over SSH using the web user interface (I currently have both NAS systems on the same LAN in order to get it to work like this; next step will be to have them in different locations).
Interestingly enough, rsync over SSH does work when I manually do it when logged into the source NAS over ssh. I can then do rsync -avz -e ssh ./source root@destination:~
I am about to just forget about the web interface and manually add a cron job. That also gives much more flexibility in terms of progress reporting etc... .
So, 2 questions:
a. any suggestions on why it works manually but not via the web interface
b. how to add rsync options to the web interface so that the progress of the backup is visible?
Thank you,
Piet
The backup job has no way of entering a passphrase on a SSH key.
