Use Rsync
You can use Rsync to access any shared folders that are enabled for the Rsync file-sharing protocol.
Instead of browsing shared folders 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 copies only 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.
