Configuring Rsync Task with WD MyCloud EX2 - no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss

TrueNAS General

Hi Forum,

i want to reuse my old Western Digital MyCloud EX2 for Archive/Backup purposes.

The WD EX2 is obsolete and all i can configure is a password for ssh access via the GUI.

So i cant create a keychain for this system, or am i missing something?

When trying to connect though, i also get the error message “no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-dss”

The WD EX2 is runnong OpenSSH 7.x while TrueNas is running 9.x is that a problem?

so i was able to workaround this by using the CLI

rsync -av -e ‘ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss’ /source/ user@target:/target

Now my problem is, that it only transfers with 10MB/s when FTP does around 60MB/s and Nework allows up to 100MB/s. Any ideas

Also any way to get the option for HostKeyAlgorithms configured via the GUI?
