      Hi there,

      I'm fighting on a problem and maybe you can help me.

      I have a pfsense 2.0.1 running installation on which I installed the rsync package.
      I have plugged on the same network it 2 network HDD

      • Lacie Network Space 2
      • Western Digital MybookWorld something

      The western disk is a backup of the lacie

      Until now to mirror the 2 HDD, I'm using a script on a computer on the same network via samba shares.

      I want to simplify this and launch a cron from the PfSense to do it BUT the stupid Lacie HDD only propose to me :

      • Samba Share
      • SFTP access
      • FTP access

      I can SCP files from it but impossible to run a rsync.

      so questions, is it possible to

      • mount a SMB share on pfsense
      • mount a SFTP/FTP as a folder on pfsense
        If yes it's the end of my problems… if not, I have to dismount the Lacie Drive and dig inside the file system to enable the SSH root access.

      Thanks in advance

        It's not recommended but you can install freesbd samba package on firewall using pkg_add.

        i386
        http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/Latest/

        Test in on a virtual machine first to see if samba package does not break your pfsense box.

            Inside the non recommended packages there is a recommended freebsd version  :)

            Install packages from same freebsd version pfsense uses. Current version is freebsd 8.1 p6.

            *-stable packages could depend on shared libs that are not present o outdated on pfsense.
