Hello all,
First off I'm a noob to sme and rsync, second i am building a digital picture viewer out of an old laptop. (i got the idea from here: http://thewares.net/item/33 )
So far i have been able to get everything to work but the rsync portion.
Here is my setup.
1. SME server behind a soho router with port 873 open and being forwarded.
2. There is an ibay on the server with some pictures in it.
3. DPF (digital pic frame) outside my network with DSL insalled.
This is what i am typing in at the command line on the DPF
rsync my.server.ip::photos
It just times out with out showing any signs of connecting. If I execute the same line from the SME server I get a listing of all the files.
On the DPF if I change the line to
rsync root@my.server.ip:
It prompts me for the root password and then it shows me the files in root's root directory.
I am trying to avoid using SSH because I don't know how to get it to auto login with a password.
I want to make the DPF run with no daily manual interaction from me, so getting rsync to work would be great.
