FREENAS RSYNC TO QNAP

[transmitlikeadataman]

Hi,

I would like to rsync from my Freenas box to my QNAP. This is being done over the LAN at home and therefore I don't see a need for SSH.

I followed the guide here but having issues. I created a file rsync.pwd with Windows notepad, placed it in the root folder of the dataset. Used cmd to rename the file extension from .txt to .pwd.

However I cannot set the file permissions properly. I used the freenas shell to chown and chgrp to the correct owner and group. However when i run chmod 600 rsync.pwd i get an "operation not permitted". I've tried it as root and su as well.

I cant change the properties in windows as they are all grayed out. How do I get this to work, surely this should be relatively straightforward?

Many Thanks.

Recreate that file on Windows, set the needed permissions in the file's properties, rename it, then transfer it to FreeNAS. Does that fix it?

Hi dlavigne,

I did something very similar which has worked!

I left the file on the freenas box and used windows properties > permissions advanced to remove "Everyone", "Group" and also uncheck inherit permissions.
I then setup the necessary read and write under the remaining permission (owner). There's lots of other permissions there so was a bit of guesswork.

Using the Freenas shell and command ls-l I was checking until I got what was needed (equivalent of chmod 600).

Hope that helps!
