SSH access to RN312 fails
Environment: RN312 w/ 2 4TB drives mirrored Trying to access from a Linux box via public/private keys. SSH on RN312 enabled with password authentication disabled (although I've tried it both ways)...
Well, it is solved.
schumaku I was attempting to connect with "admin" not "Admin" as I had incorrectly typed.
StephenB I always thought root and admin were synonymous. However, as schumaku suggested, I will probably create a separate backup user.
The solution... when I was importing the public key from the linux box I was trying to connect from, I had not unchecked the "RSYNC" box on the key. Once I did that, I connected without problem and I was able to successfully execute a backup from the linux box and have it show up in the appropriate backup directory I created on the RN312.
Funny how simple things can cause hours of hair-pulling and frustration.
