Access to Shares through NFS and User Permissions
When you access your px4-400d through NFS, the access permissions to content on the px4-400d are
controlled by Host-Based Access Control rules on your client computer, not by user access permissions
on your px4-400d. This means that any valid user on the Linux computer who has access to the host (the
storage device) can access Shares on the px4-400d, even if not given specific user permission to those
Shares on the device.
rsync: Synchronizing Files with Another Storage Device or Other Computers
When you turn on this protocol, you enable the px4-400d Network Storage as an rsync server. It can then
be used as a source and/or destination device for rsync Copy Jobs. Because of the fast and efficient
nature of rsync, an rsync Copy Job can be faster than a Windows File Sharing Copy Job. For more
information on Copy Jobs, refer to
If you enable the px4-400d as an rsync server, you can optionally set up a user account on the px4-400d for
secure rsync Copy Jobs.
Configuring rsync server settings

rsync user account on the px4-400d, you allow other devices to securely copy to or from it.
4.
By default, rsync uses TCP port 873 for accepting requests. You can change this value to a
different port number, if desired.
