Hi,

sorry for reviving this old thread.

So I was updating my little RNS102 to 6.4.0 a few days ago and thought, I could try again the rsync + ssh thing with using another port than 22.

I've created a backup job and entered in the target host field <hostname>:<ssh port>.

After pressing the "Test connection" button the NAS connected to my server with the given port! To be sure I've also checked the sshd logs and it confirmed the connection.

Now i was really happy that it finally works... :smileyvery-happy:

.. until I've tried to save the settings.

I'm getting an error popup with the message: Be sure to correct errors.

There seems to be a check in the ReadyNAS admin gui that prevents saving a hostname in the notation <hostname>:<port>. It didn't like the :<port> part.. :smileymad:

Netgear, please remove this check. It would add another feature to the NAS.

Thanks..
