Rsync over ssh fails due to unknown reason
Hi,
I just bought a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 that I would like to use as a source for rsync over ssh to my Synology DS212j (soon to be off-site) but I can't get the SSH part to work. I have also bought the addon EnableRsyncSsh to enable the ssh-checkbox under backup.
To begin with I have managed to get the rsync with ssh to work with my Windows 7 computer and Synology DS212j and I have managed to get the rsync to work without the ssh option pushed by the ReadyNAS into the Synology. Therefore I am guessing that I have missed something in my ReadyNAS settings. The log that I am able to find is:
I am a newbie when it comes to these types of questions so all progress that I have made so far is by using guides I have found online. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated! :)
(and I know that ssh probably will run slow on the ultra 2, but I don't mind)
Best regards
Alex

- Did you take a look at Setting up Rsync over SSH
The setup you need should be similar to what's shown there. - Thanks for the very fast reply!
Yes I have followed that guide, the only part I am not able to do is to "test the connection" because it always fails (it does so even when I use the rsync without ssh, even though that works when I apply the settings and make a test).
I also think that the Synology needs the rsync destination to be placed in a specific folder (NetBackup for regular rsync and /var/services/NetBackup for the one over ssh) atleast that is how I managed to get it to work with DeltaCopy on Windows 7 to SYnology.
Edit: I think my key files are setup correct now, because earlier I got an error message stating that something was wrong with the key. I don't get that error anymore...
