Rsync - NETGEAR ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition User Manual

Rsync

If you specified a user or password in the rsync share access tab, you will need to specify this when
accessing the rsync share. Unlike other protocols, rsync uses arbitrary user name and password
that is specific only for rsync access. The user account you specify does not need to exist on the
ReadyNAS.
Figure 3-22
Here is an example of a way for a Linux client to list the content of a ReadyNAS rsync share with
no user name and password defined:
# rsync <ipaddr>::backup
To recursively copy the content of a share to /tmp:
# rsync -a <ipaddr>::backup /tmp
To do the same except with a login user and password hello, enter:
# rsync -a user@<ipaddr>::backup /tmp
Password: *****
Note: The ReadyNAS does not support Rsync over SSH.
