You can use Rsync to access any shares that are enabled for the Rsync file-sharing protocol. Instead of browsing shares as you do with some other file-sharing protocols, with Rsync, you copy files from your ReadyNAS system to another computer that supports the Rsync file-sharing protocol. If you previously copied these files, Rsync only copies the differences between the source files and the destination files, making the transfer much quicker than using other file-sharing protocols. The first time you copy files using the Rsync file-sharing protocol, you see no performance difference.
To access shares using Rsync, follow these steps:
- Ensure that the Rsync file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS storage system.
For more information, see the How do I manage file-sharing protocols on my ReadyNAS Ultra series, Ultra Plus series, NVX Pioneer, or Pro Pioneer storage system? support article.
- On a network-attached device that supports the Rsync file-sharing protocol, launch a terminal program or an Rsync client.
- Enter any required credentials for the share.
For more information about Rsync terminal program commands, see
rsync.samba.org.
For more information about using an Rsync client application, see the documentation that accompanies the application.
