[edit] Prerequisites
To complete this guide, the following is assumed:
| You are running Oleg's firmware (1.9.2.7-6b or later) |
| You have harddisk partitions up and running with an extended filesystem mounted to /opt |
| You have installed the Ipkg package system. |
| You have configured your partitions to automount. |
| You have installed OpenSSH and have used SSH to successfully connect to your WL-HDD |
[edit] Install
Rsync also depends on the libiconv library so this must also be installed on the WL-HDD
ipkg install libiconv ipkg install rsync
Now enter the following command when in a SSH or Telnet session:
rsync --help
You should get a list of all the rsync command flags and general instructions on the syntax of the rsync command.
[edit] Using Rsync
In order to use rsync, on your linux box run this command (or similar) in a terminal:
rsync -avz --delete --progress /home/username/ -e ssh admin@192.168.1.2:/opt/home/username
The first path (/home/username/) is the folder on your linux box and the second path (/opt/home/username) is the path on your WL-HDD.
In the above example, the username for the WL-HDD is admin and the IP address of the WL-HDD is 192.168.1.2 - make sure you change these to suit your own setup.
