Setting Up an Nsync Target on an Nsync Device 
On the Nsync target server, the administrator of that server has to set up a user 
account with a folder named “nsync” and grant write access. 
  
1.  On the Nsync server, add a user for Nsync source (ex. nsyncsource1). For 
instructions on how to add a user on the 1U4500, see Chapter 4: System 
Management > User and Groups Management > Local User 
Configuration > 
 
2.  On the Nsync server, grant that user (ex. nsyncsource1) write access to 
the nsync folder. For instructions on how to set up a folder’s ACL, see 
Chapter 4: System Management > Folder Management > 
 
3.  Once this is done, the target server will start accepting Nsync tasks from 
server using that ID and password. 
Setting Up an Nsync Target on Another Device 
If you selected “Other Device” when setting up your Nsync task, the 1U4500 will 
use the FTP protocol to back up the share folder. On the external storage device, 
make sure there is a folder named “nsync”, and the Auth ID has writable 
permission in that folder.
