Noob error in remote path format

[dreamkid]

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for writing QtdSync, it looks nice and simple - just the way I like it.
I have fallen at the first hurdle though.
I am trying to backup from Win7 PC to a remote Synology NAS and getting an error:
"ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name not a /"
What format should I write remote target folder location?
It would be useful if there was some help available with examples, unless I have missed it?
Many thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,
You almost certainly will have solved your problem by now. But seeing as this is the first place anybody will look for help I'll just leave this short explanation.
As the error says it is expecting a module name not a path. A module is more or less an alias for a path on the rsync server. Modules are defined in the rsync server config file, usually located in /etc/rsyncd.conf.
So ssh into your NAS and take a look at that file. A module definition will look something like
[name of module]
path= path to directory

You can find more at http://linux.die.net/man/5/rsyncd.conf

Hope that helps,
Philipp
