Rsync: Synchronizing Files With Another Storage Device Or Other Computers - Lenovo px2-300d User Manual

Sharing Files
Access to Shares through NFS and User Permissions
When you access your px2-300d through NFS, the access permissions to content on the px2-300d are
controlled by Host-Based Access Control rules on your client computer, not by user access permissions
on your px2-300d. This means that any valid user on the Linux computer who has access to the host (the
storage device) can access Shares on the px2-300d, even if not given specific user permission to those
Shares on the device.

When you turn on this protocol, you enable the px2-300d Network Storage as an rsync server. It can then
