Error passing key to Symology NAS

garyc · 2019-10-23 13:23:35

I have configured the Synology NAS to allow SSH and then attempted to run ./xsibackup root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22.

The command fails with the following:

Could not determine system type at: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Error description: can't exchange key

Well, you are missing the action in your command, I guess you meant:

./xsibackup --add-key root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22

Upgrade your DSM OS and use latest [b](c)XSIBackup-DC[/b] binary.

Sorry mistyped.

I have upgraded my DSM to the latest and just was also using the latest binary and it still gives the same error.

Run this at your [b](c)Synology[/b] NAS command line and paste what you get.

uname -a | awk '{print $1}' | awk '{print tolower($0)}'

Had the same problem today. Solved by enabling SSH client in ESXi firewall.

That is a must
