Use RcloneView with TerraMaster NAS for Cloud Backup and Sync

· 6 min read

Senior Engineer

TerraMaster NAS devices offer affordable network storage, but their built-in cloud backup options are limited — RcloneView extends your TerraMaster with multi-cloud backup, sync, and file management through a visual GUI.

TerraMaster manufactures popular NAS devices running TOS (TerraMaster Operating System). While TOS includes basic cloud sync features for a few providers, it does not support the full range of cloud storage services that businesses and power users need. RcloneView connects to your TerraMaster NAS via SFTP or SMB and bridges it to 70+ cloud providers — enabling automated backups, cloud-to-NAS sync, and cross-cloud file management.

Fix SFTP Connection Refused and Timeout Errors in RcloneView

· 6 min read

SFTP errors in RcloneView almost always trace back to network configuration, authentication setup, or server-side settings. This guide walks through every common cause and fix.

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is one of the most widely used remotes in rclone, connecting RcloneView to any server with SSH access — NAS devices, Linux servers, shared hosting, and self-hosted infrastructure. Unlike cloud provider APIs, SFTP depends on network reachability, firewall rules, and SSH configuration, which means there are more points of failure. Here is how to diagnose and resolve the most common SFTP issues.

Every Linux server, VPS, and web host speaks SFTP. RcloneView turns any SFTP endpoint into a manageable remote you can browse, sync to cloud storage, and back up on a schedule.

Whether it's a web server, a development box, a VPS, or a dedicated server, SFTP is almost always available. RcloneView connects to any SFTP server and places it alongside your cloud accounts — browse server files visually, sync to S3 or Google Drive, and schedule automated backups.

Mount Hetzner Storage Box as a Local Drive and Sync to Any Cloud with RcloneView

Hetzner Storage Box offers unbeatable price-per-terabyte in Europe, but managing files via FTP or SCP is clunky. RcloneView mounts it as a local drive and syncs it to any cloud — visually.

Hetzner Storage Boxes are one of the best-value storage solutions in Europe — reliable, affordable, and accessible via SFTP, FTP, SMB, and WebDAV. But without a native desktop client, managing files means using command-line tools or basic FTP clients. RcloneView changes this by connecting via SFTP, letting you mount the Storage Box as a local drive, browse files in a two-pane explorer, and sync to AWS S3, Google Drive, or any other cloud.

Mount SFTP or SMB Storage as Local Drives with RcloneView — Self-Hosted Cloud Integration

· 4 min read

Make your NAS, home server, or office file server behave like Google Drive: mount SFTP or SMB as a real drive letter or /Volumes path with caching, buffering, and a GUI.

SFTP and SMB are the backbone of self-hosted storage—Synology/QNAP NAS, home servers, VPSs, and corporate file servers all rely on them. But mounting them reliably across Windows, macOS, and Linux often means OS-specific quirks, fragile authentication, no caching controls, and no unified view with your clouds.

RcloneView fixes that. It wraps rclone mount into a friendly desktop app so your SFTP/SMB shares act like modern cloud drives—complete with VFS cache, thumbnail streaming, buffering tweaks, and automation.
