SFTP supports public key encryption and a custom port. You specify a local folder, a remote folder, and a method for connecting to remote (Dropbox, FTP, SFTP, or FTPS). I've had success using Titanium Media Sync. This whole thing started when I decided I need to have a backup solution for my sd card on my phone(my sd card failed a few weeks ago and I has a week old backup just by chance). Of course, if anyone has any other alternatives to backing up Android phones that is automated I'm all ears.

The android app creates the public and private key and has no options at all so I'm thinking I won't be able to make those key types.ĭoes this all make sense? Do I seem to understand what the problem is? Is it possible to easily add support for dss to FreeNAS? Is there a reason why dss isn't supported(aka it isn't secure)? I plan to do all of this over my home wifi so I'm not oo terribly concerned since my wifi encryption is not likely to be cracked. The program appears to use an ssh program called dropbear and I'm not sure if it supports dss or not(fairly certain the answer is no though). I emailed the android app developer to see if it is possible to use dss and I am waiting for a response. If I understand everything I've read in the last 2 hours my key is dss since the key starts with 'ssh-dss'. I did create the private and public key on my phone and pasted the contents of the public key into the appropriate field in FreeNAS.

Then I get the error "In order to use rsync over SSH you need a user with a public key (DSA/ECDSA/RSA) set up in home dir." On the phone I got a key and everything looked good until I tried to create the rsync task.

Using the manual I started trying to set this whole thing up. I just found a program for my Android phone for backing up my internal and external sd cards.
