Rsync to a Remote NAS

[Chris Arnold]

If the NAS is 192.168.123.6 your command on the other side would be:
rsync  --verbose --progress --stats --compress --recursive --times 
--perms --links --delete /Share/ 192.168.123.6::Backup/EdensLandCorp

I run this command and get failed to connect to 192.168.123.6: Connection refused. I shouldnt have to open any ports because this is coming across the VPN, right?

Maybe it is the smb://xx.xx.xx.xx/whatever that is breaking it......the bottom line is i need to copy/rsync a directory to a remote server through a VPN. How is this accomplished?
