Transferring Files to Hexos

[ZivZulander]

I've been unable start rsync so that I can transfer files. I went into truenas and enabled SSH. But i get a Permissions denied (publickey) error. I then tried to rsync using a created User but I get another a Permission denied error on the actual files that I want transfered. 

My theory is that the User doesn't  have permissions to create or write to the folder I created. But I already have it set to full access. Any suggestions ?

 

Thanks.

i have always just used rsync in the truenas ui shell, does that work for which users you are trying with?

I got it figured it out, but it took awhile. I didn't really know much about TrueNas permissions and how it relates to datasets. a cross post to reddit and a few hours of tinkering / YouTube videos got me sorted. Not sure I could painlessly do it again though 😆

Hopefully hexos can simplify the process in the future.

Truenas permissions can get real frustrating. Even understanding them is tough. 

Hopefully we can avoid the tn ui the further Hexos matures
