setup rsync from webgui with win7 job

johndoe · 8. April 2015

Hi,

I've searched the web and this forum but could not solve my problem.
I am not experienced with linux and therefor not to familiar with the syntax.
I have a OMV box with shared folders setup with guest only access. I have note created any users.
I am trying to use rsync to push or pull data from a win7 machine. The win7 machine has shared folders (c & d drives) with username "guest" and password "123".
Do I just setup a rsync job from the webgui or how do I go about configuring omv? Do I need to setup a server module? I am also not sure about the usage of port 873.

Is there perhaps another way I can do this?

Hope someone can help me.

Hi Johndoe,

See below to setup a server module on OMV. For your windows client, I suggest you use cwRsync. Details for setup and usage can be found here: http://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/windows_rsync.html

This is a quick how-to for setting up Rsync as a daemon. I assume there is no firewall between the two machines and port 873 is open.

Server Side
Go to the Rsync service then click Server --> Settings. Check Enable then click Save. Click apply to save the changes.
Click Modules then click Add. Select Shared folder. This is the folder you want to rysnc to the other machine.
You can change the Name if you like. I leave it with the same name.
For User I recommend changing to a user with read write permission to the folder. In my case I select my username. Leave Group set to users unless you need to change it.
Leave chroot checked.
Check Authenticate Users
Check Read Only if you are only going to do a pull request from the other machine. This will prevent files to be written back from the other machine. If you are going to write files both ways then leave this unchecked.
Leave Enable module listing checked.
Max connections I would recommend setting to 2 if you have a lot of traffic on your network. Otherwise leave it set as 0.
Hosts allow. Add your other machine IP or hostname here.

Click Users then click Add.
Select a username. In my case I select my username again. Enter a password. This does not have to be the same for your login but you can if you want to make it simple. This is stored in rsyncd.secrets.
Click Save.
Click Save again then click Apply.

You now have a module to use with an rsync client.
