2-12 Accessing Shares from Your Operating System
v1.0, October 2007
Rsync
Access to the share through rsync is identical regardless of the security mode. 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 or a
domain controller.
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.
