  I think you need to set the root password with the following command and then connect as root:

  
  

  sudo synouser --setpw root
  

  
  

  It is probably the DSM 6 update that changed something (they are running their own version of rsync, that is for sure).

  I have already done the sudo synouser --setpw root
  and set up the root user with a password
  
  Unfortunately, using the root user gives the same result
  
  I am able to browse and copy files using winscp from the same Acrosync system to the NAS

  Winscp runs the sftp protocol so it is different from an ssh client.  Please make sure an ssh client such as putty works.

  
  

  What I found out is that a wrong port number can lead to this "permission denied" problem.  For example, I changed the port from 22 to 222 using the web console and then it gave me this error:

  
  

  gchen@mac-mini:~/zincbox/wxwidgets/wxWidgets-3.1.0$ssh root@192.168.1.180

  root@192.168.1.180's password: 

  Permission denied, please try again.

  Connection to 192.168.1.180 closed.

  gchen@mac-mini:~/zincbox/wxwidgets/wxWidgets-3.1.0$ssh -p 222 root@192.168.1.180

  root@192.168.1.180's password: 

  root@DiskStation:~#

  Thanks - that pointed me in the right direction
  
  When I went to check the port assigned for rsync on the NAS I noticed that service had been disabled !!
  
  Thanks again
