Enabling Rsync and Specifying Rsync Rights
Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It is famous for its delta-transfer

Unlike other protocols, Rsync uses an arbitrary user name and password that are used only
for Rsync access. To encrypt Rsync data transfers, run Rsync over SSH. Access to the share
through Rsync is identical regardless of the security mode. The user account you specify
does not need to exist on the ReadyNAS, or a domain controller.
