Hello,
I need to setup encrypted rsync backup from a 2big NAS (running original Seagate NAS OS 4), towards a 2big network 2 running fvdw-sl 18.2.
It works fine unencrypted (port 873), but I get an authentication issue when trying over SSH.
Most probably I'm doing something wrong; if not, I cannot say on which OS the problem lies, but appreciate your opinion.
On the fvdw-sl 2big2 I setup rsync server like this:
And on the 2big NAS:
So on this screen we can already see that the authentication with rsyncd user credentials worked, since I see the remote shares listed in the drop down.
But then on the next screen:
The 2big nas fails to read the contents of the remote shares, popping up error "folder authentication failed".
As I see it, that's because by logging in with rsyncd user, this doesn't have permission to read the shares. And I cannot find where to give it permission, since it's not an option on this screen:
There's only "user" user in there (which is my non-admin user I created to access the shares via SMB/FTP/etc), not rsyncd. Should there be?
Note that when I do the unencrypted backup, by entering the "user" credentials in that first 2big nas screen, instead of rsyncd's, then it works fine. The 2big nas has access to list the available shares, and has permission to list their contents.
Granted, maybe the problem is on Seagate NAS OS side, since it only lets to enter one set of credentials? - but sounds like an over-kill solution to require that from a client side.
This is what is seen on the fvdw-sl log:
