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...
- Aug 24, 2016
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?
