SSH Connect to NAS
Using a ReadyNAS model 102 with firmware version 6.1.8. I enabled SSH service but cannot mount a share using "sshfs". Has anyone been able to mount a share using SSH, and if so how do you do it? ...
I have been looking into Rsync and belive that is what I want to use, I think terminology is confusing me.
I have experimented with rsync on a Linux desktop computer (one directory on the computer to another directory on the same computer) and am happy with how rsync works. Trying to repeat those experiments from the computer to the NAS is confusing me. I think my first problem is to overcome is that I need a local (on the computer) mount so that rsync has a local mount point to work with. What protocol should I use to mount the NAS share, SMB/CIFS, NFS, or what? From what I have deduced I think I need to use SSH to connect to the NAS for Rsync; am I wrong?
I think I want to initiate Rsync actions from the computer manually, but I guess I could configure NAS Backup jobs to perform the backup/sync actions. All I want to do is use Rsync to backup some directories on Linux desktop computers to the Backup share on the NAS.
What have others done to get this working?
Thanks
