Rsync over SSH on consumer-grade ReadyNAS

Thanks blumman! I purchased the add-on as well and I've so far not gotten it to work. But an added wrinkle, which I suspect is the cause, is that I need to use a port other than the default port 22 for SSH. My guess is the code that enables SSH defaults to port 22 and there's no override. (I've updated the sshd_config file to specify the SSH port and I can therefore access the NAS via SSH. But rsync over SSH isn't working when activated via Frontview.) Do anyone have any ideas if/how I can update the SSH port for this? I've looked for a way to ask for support for the add-on on readynasxtras.com but there doesn't appear to be anywhere to do so...

Let me just see if I understand you.

You cannot use port 22 for SSH right? So you have defined a different port for SSH and now you have problems with Rsync over SSH as the addon defaults to port 22. Am I right? Are you admin of the router firewall? Can you port-forward in that case? I.e use whatever port you want the NAS to be reached at externally e.g. 2222 and then forward it to port 22 internally. Is this something you can do? If not then you will probably have to go in to the Rsync config and spcecify the same port as you have specified for SSH. I could be wrong though as I'm no expert on this. It's just whats comes to my mind and what seems logical. :)
