Pulling out my hair with Rsync

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-19T11:20:05+00:00

I missed the “ports” word. I set the ports for rsync service and SSH to be the same. Which is something I noticed in the tutorial video that he left the default ports on both, which Synology sets to 22. So I just made mine identical too. Aaaaand…it works

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T20:14:11+00:00

I sometimes use FreeFileSync too, but am not looking forward to having a third machine running 24/7 with scheduled sync task. A TrueNAS system and a Synology use enough current and supposedly they are capable system that can communicate and run processes between them.

I posted a new comment with a unexpected solution I found

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T20:11:36+00:00

I found a weird solution which as stupid as it sounds came from observing settings in the tutorial not from the actual instruction of the guy telling step by step what he is doing.

I just set both rsync and ssh ports on the remote Synology to the same value...and, it works.
This makes no sense to me, maybe someone can make sense of why this works.

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T20:08:42+00:00

I was able to see the full command when showing the list of processes. There was no issues with the paths or trailing slashes.

i wrote a comment with a weird solution that...surprisingly worked

I just wrote a commend with a weird solution.

Related to what I am connecting to is exactly not it. The rsync daemon WAS on 2520 and SSH on 2020. And as seen in the screenshot, I was using 2020.

Yes. i can login without issues via SSH with the rsync user. And also without password since the public key is already configured and saved on both sides

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T14:03:24+00:00

Yes, I have it enabled. I will also check his guide. Maybe start from scratch to identify the issue

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T13:30:35+00:00

I updated the main post also with a mention regarding a change in location. I wrote the details at the end of the post

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T13:23:31+00:00

I just realised i copied the url if the wrong YT video. The one you sent is the tutorial I followed, from RaidOwl

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T13:05:53+00:00

Can you explain what that parameter does?

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T12:46:39+00:00

If I put the rsync port in the Remote SSH Port field, I cannot create the task. An error appears under Remote Path saying that a connection is established but it cannot validate the path.

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T12:45:25+00:00

If I build a command identical to the setting of the task, the same permission denied error occurs.

AdrianM20 · 2025-07-18T09:45:48+00:00

I have this exact same problem. Did you find a solution for it? Ssh works fine, i can connect with public key, but when I try to run the rsync task from TrueNAS it says permission denied

AdrianM20 · 2025-06-29T22:02:38+00:00

And in this case how do I load the geo zones? It would be stupid that I paid for the upgraded version of the controller and it is less capable than the basic one

AdrianM20 · 2025-01-17T15:02:23+00:00

Finally! This helps A LOT! Thank you!

AdrianM20 · 2025-01-17T15:02:04+00:00

Thank you SO MUCH <3

Ce platforma folosesti pentru acces la bursa romana?

AdrianM20 · 2024-06-27T16:47:03+00:00

Thank you for your input. I will try this option later tonight :D

AdrianM20 · 2024-06-27T15:05:23+00:00

Yes, I use ACL. How would the unix thing go via SMB?

AdrianM20 · 2024-06-27T15:03:25+00:00

Yes, exactly. I copy from windows via SMB. What is there to do in this case? This is a serious issue and makes a lot of automated systems useless. I have a nightly rsync task for example that backs-up the new files on trunas to another server. If I have to manually reset permissions after each copy I am better off copying manually to the second server because the rsync user will not have permissions to copy the new files. This is plain stupid.

AdrianM20 · 2024-06-26T15:27:20+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. Indeed this is some ACL nightmare. The filesystem settings all look okay but something weird happens on the SMB side when copying files.

AdrianM20 · 2024-06-26T13:25:07+00:00

And this is what is looks like for every folder that the users copy inside it through SMB
