Freenas to Synology, have beat it to death!

Well aint this a kick in the --head

Got the SSH working with this...

From a shell running as my rsync user in Freenas I can

ssh rsync@192.168.nn
And
ssh 192.168.0.30
Works great, but then gets weird.

rsync -avh --progress --delete-delay --log-file=/mnt/AllDrives/homes/rsync/rsyncrun.log /mnt/AllDrives/Media/Series rsync@192.168.0.30::NetBackup
Challenges for a password, and

rsync -avh --progress -e ssh --delete-delay --log-file=/mnt/AllDrives/homes/rsync/rsyncrun.log /mnt/AllDrives/Media/Series rsync@192.168.0.30::NetBackup

Does not.

I thought rsync (nowadays) defaulted to using ssh? Or is that the Synology's bastard witch brew rsync at the other end? If so it explains a lot!

Hmmm... I thought rsync defaulted to SSH, too!

Anyway -- good job! Sounds like you've overcome the biggest hurdle. Now you can look at my GitHub rsync scripts (link above) and tune performance a bit.
