Ultra 2+ Rsync over SSH

When did you purchase the Ultra 2 Plus? If you can return Ultra 2 Plus and get the Pro 2.

mdgm - Why are you recommending to return and ultra 2 and get a pro 2?

What is the advantage?

The Pro 2 has business features e.g. Rsync over SSH

Since RedRocket wishes to use Rsync over SSH it would be best to use a Pro 2. Any method to use Rsync over SSH on an Ultra would not be supported by NetGear.

Unfortunately returning the Ultra 2 and getting a Pro 2 is not an option.

Am I out of luck?

Anyone?

You could enable Root access on your Ultra 2 NAS.

once you have that activated, you can ssh into your Ultra and from their you can then run Rsync over ssh.

hope that works.

The Readynas Extra's SSH enabler add-on seems to work with Radiator 4.2.21 on Pro Pioneer, like Ultra with no Rsync SSH standard.
We have 1 x Pro6, 1x Pro2 and an older Pro Pioneer and also online storage with rsync.

The only thing I did was change the ssh key for online backup as the hostname within the key didn't match coming up with nas-EA-57-F3

e.g.
ssh-rsa AAAAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxBBBBCCCC== root@nas-EA-57-F3

I remember seeing that hostname in RAIDAR when setting the NAS up originally, I changed it to the current hostname, and added it to the /.ssh/authorized_keys file on the online storage server.

I discovered by accident keying in" .ssh/ " on filezilla the hidden folder would open with the key file which could be edited within filezilla instead of going through about with Putty.

If using a Readynas for online backup to hosted Rsync servers, it's necessary in my case to add " home/username/folder " in the Readynas Rsync path rather than just " username/folder" as in FTP/filezilla
