access.

Access Shares Using Rsync
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:
1.
Ensure that the Rsync file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS storage
system.
For more information, see
File-Sharing Protocols
on page
31.
2.
On a network-attached device that supports the Rsync file-sharing protocol, launch a
terminal program or an Rsync client.
3.
Enter any required credentials for the share.
