I have a VoIP system that I want to move voice files to a local My Cloud. the Voip server is linux based and in the cloud. the My Cloud will be local to my customer. Using ssh can I use rsync to send the files to the My Cloud?
Yes you should be able to use rsync to copy files from a local network VOIP server to a My Cloud (not My Cloud Home) on the same local network. You will need to enable SSH in the My Cloud Dashboard > Settings > Network section. You will need to use the proper rsync command with the SSH login information and directory location.
If you are attempting to rsync to a remote My Cloud located on a remote network there are additional issues, including security issues one will have to deal with. These may include enabling port forwarding on the remote network’s router or gateway. Opening up port forwarding presents potential security issues since it exposes the My Cloud to potentially being compromised by malicious actors.
If you haven’t done so already, use the search feature (magnifying glass icon top right) to search the OS5 subforum for “rsync”. There are lots of past discussions on using rsync on an OS5 My Cloud.
