SSH problem
by JohnDeere630 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B0XT)
Hello,
I haven't posted here in forever, but I have a problem that someone here may be able to at least point me in the right direction. I don't know what information may be relevant, so please forgive my verbosity.
The setup: I have a linux Debian laptop and an Openmediavault NAS server that I built some years ago, and both are working fine. Recently, I decided to try and use rsync over ssh to keep my laptop backed up on the server. I used a number of sources to set up ssh and the keys and all that. So far so good.
The problem is that now, I can ssh into the server's root directory, and do whatever I want, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to ssh into the shared folders on the server. I have the root filesystem installed on a small SSD, and the actual storage is on a RAID 5 array. SSH says it can't chdir into /home/gary because the file does not exist. The /home directory on the SSD does not contain anything, as the folders are all on the RAID array.
I suspect whatever is wrong is probably pretty elementary, but I'll be damned if I can see it.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I would be happy to post any other needed info. Thank you!
