This is an excellent video. I'm not very familiar with unix/linux commands and found this most useful! One tip for other n88bies using windows command line, is that when you are in VIM editing the sshd_config, to save and exit press the key then very quickly type : Once the colon has been typed you can then choose your VIM command. To save and exit it is :wq to exit without saving it is :q!
Wow... I've spent hours reading instructions and watching RUclips videos to no avail. I almost dismissed this one too. I was hesitant to apply the 755 to my user folder because I do not have a dedicated account for git, I am just using my regular admin account and wasn't sure if that would ruin anything. Without it it didn't work though so I did it anyway (I would have to look up how to undo it, how bad could it be?). I no longer expected anything but... I could synchronize without password! I had to apply everything but the Putty intermezzo to make it work. This really should be taken care of by the installer as an option. Thanks a lot man!
I kind of wish I would have used my regular admin account for this, but I went ahead with getting the other account so I'm going to stick with it for now. Anyway, I'm happy that it could help somebody. Thanks for taking the time to write to me. I am still using this setup without any issues. I am doing Unreal Engine development work, and it's nice to be able to synchronize big files directly to the NAS. Nice and fast without going to a cloud provider or something like that, and then back up everything with Hyper backup for safekeeping.

Thanks man, the terminal has a very small font, I'm very old and my vision is very bad!
Worked great on my Mac. `chmod 755` on my home folder was key. FYI, `scp` is an alternate way of copying the key from NAS to PC
Thank you very much for this tutorial. The chmod 755 was crucial for me too.
install docker and run gitea. better than what i did before
