SFTP backup From(!) ReadyNAS TO external sftp server (port22), how?
On my RN424 I like to backup to a remote server via SFTP, but the RN424 only seesm to know FTP. But FTP is not accepted by my remote server. How to use SFTP?
Solution found: Provider supports SSH shell access on another server with access to smae files as with the ftp server. If I use the shell access server I am able to do rsync with it.
Ok, so that won't work. You gotta specify full path here. Would have been the same if using something SFTP.
Starting with the / and it is case sensitive.
For example:
/home/myuser/RN
If it still does not work, PM me and give me screenshot of the settings on your backup job. I don't want you to post any public IPs here :)
Also, ensure you select "Rsync over Remote SSH" on the backup jobs page.

Great. Though I guess we'd have to call it a work-around, I think it will actually work out better for you.
